bubnme Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 I thought I would start a thread to see how old everybody is. I was just wondering what age bracket this hobby seems to attract? I just turned 41 here in California... Quote

+briansnat Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 I'm 49. From the geocachers I've met, most seem to be from their mid 20's to mid 50's. There are a handful of teens and more than a handful of older cachers, but most I know are in that 25-55 range. Quote

+PeachyPA Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 (edited) Old enough to have a daughter who was a senior in college in 2003 who brought home the idea of geocaching on her last spring break. And we didn't wait to get a GPS unit to start caching. We found our first six without a unit, the next seven with a borrowed one. Edited February 5, 2007 by PeachyPA Quote

+W7WT Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 82 in April and the XYL is 80. We have over 1600 finds. Somewhere on the forum, someone was much older than I am and had about 1000 more finds. Dick Quote
+Ol' Dirty Cacher Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Although age is of little importance there is no harm in asking. I am about to turn 32 yrs young. My wife, who accompanies me occasionally, is about to be 26 yrs old. Can you guess who is the more responsible one? Acting grown up is over rated anyways. Quote

+Jhwk Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 A lot older than I want to be (44) But my wife says I still act like a teenager, sometimes. Quote
railrider1920 Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Up untill a few years ago, I would say that I was 19, at least thats how I felt and quite often how I acted. Now I'm leaning more towards saying I'm getting to be around 29 because I'm not still feeling like a 19 yr old. My wife says to me, "Just remember, you turned 39 before me!" Rob Quote
+Goudacat Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Just the two of us. He's 28 and I will be too next month. Oops I meant 29. Quote
