+NevaP Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Done it Either not very many people my age are caching or they aren't bothering to read the forums and do polls. (Two of us in there so far.) Probably the latter - to busy trying to understand the Medicare prescription plans. Link to comment
+Wile E. Dragonfly Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I voted... but I think that this pole is only for the people who go onto the forums... my mom and sister both cache, but will never see this poll simply because they don't know how (or why) to do the forum thing. Still, I think the results are representative of what I've seen at events... even in a college town. Link to comment
+GPSKitty Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Well, I seem to be in the majority. Link to comment
leswon Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I guess video games won out. Not video games, SCHOOL!!! I voted Link to comment
+Pip & Robbie Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Entered twice since we're a team of two. Link to comment
+beltfamily Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Also, post something here saying you did it so this thread won't slide off the radar screen. after 212 votes, about 75% are aged 30-60. Link to comment
+Half-Canadian Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Scooter the Wonder Dog wants to know if she should vote in real years or dog years... Link to comment
Tahosa and Sons Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Interesting to say the least. And what I'm wondering is why those 70.5% that are younger than me can't do the real good hikes that come with my caches. Link to comment
+chadwick61 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Voted earlier. There seems to be a nice bell curve developing. Link to comment
+gof1 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Voted, but not sure what the results actualy say. Are most geocachers in the 41-50 age groop, or is it that we are just more likely to vote in a forum pole? Link to comment
peachs Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Wow 90! I hope I'm still going when I'm 90! Link to comment
+Sagefox Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I voted once for me and once for my wife. We are in two different groups even though we are only 6 months apart. I'm now in a more unique age bracket. Link to comment
+JennM Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I voted too. Interesting the demographics - but given the people I've met while caching (fellow cachers) I'm not surprised. My kids come with me -they are teenagers. I did not vote for them, as we operate as a "team". Jenn Link to comment
+Go JayBee Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Interesting curve....very heavy in the 41-50 region......... Link to comment
+5KingCachers Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 ok I did it. Kind of interesting to know. Link to comment
+swaninwa Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Well, I'm in ONE category for about 8 more weeks, and then I'll be in another... Thanks for the post! I did it once for hubby and once for me. Link to comment
RV_Campers Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Done. Good survey. Thanks Link to comment
+Tahoein' Bunch Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Interesting my wife and I are in the most group out of 291 so far Kinda Cool. Thanks for the Poll. TB Link to comment
+myrtlemoose Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I can't believe that there are people in there 90s doing this!! Link to comment
+Big Matt and Shell Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Did it. I was surprised to see 3 x 90+ (or was that someone being funny?) Link to comment
+Sanruft Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Done...But also surprised to see 3 of them over 90! (I think someone is pulling our leg!) Link to comment
+Cladius Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 So easy a cave man could do it. Link to comment
Opus58 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 (edited) A hint to my age is in my username.... I did the poll... Edited February 16, 2007 by Opus58 Link to comment
+NevaP Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Done...But also surprised to see 3 of them over 90! (I think someone is pulling our leg!) Come on you kids! I'm one of the 2 in the 71-80 bracket and assuming I stay as healthy as my dad and most of my other relatives I expect to still be out there at 90+. But I might not do the five mile hike in the mountains caches anymore. And just last week I decided not to climb 20 feet up in a magnolia tree to retrieve a cache I could see up there (NOT a suspended one) North Campus Bookstore There are plenty of 1-2-3 terrain caches to keep us busy and more seniors than you think out there looking for them. But most of us are to busy to spend much time in the forums so I suspect the poll numbers are a bit low on the upper end. Link to comment
Earthdog Patrick Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I did mine in dog years, hope that was OK. So did you get a nice curve for the age distribution of forum cruisers who like to take poles? Link to comment
+kinglee Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Done, good one. interesting age distribution so far. Link to comment
+RussellM Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I really would have thought there would have been more younger people. Link to comment
+Trucker Lee Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Well, I am in the biggest group now, but that will change in a few months. Does that make me an old goat? Link to comment
+The VanDucks Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I voted twice because my husband and I geocache together using one name, and we fell into different age categories on your chart. It's interesting to see the results - thanks for posting this survey! Link to comment
sp0rtcam Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Did it! Interesting results. Link to comment
+salpal Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Does it count if you don't feel as old as you are? At least most days... Link to comment
+JennM Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I was Geocaching all day today (my kids are off school this week and it's my only day off!)... I FEEL about 100 years old now On out first cache I fell flat on my face - literally... I think I'll feel about 150 in the morning... Jenn Link to comment
+minnesotabrad Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Voted in poll, but sometimes my teenage daughter goes caching with me. Link to comment
+Cache_advance Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 done. 32 here... Link to comment
+WCNUT & TATER Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 We're in, had to vote twice, we are in 2 different age groups, but there is 8 yrs difference in us. It was neat to see the bell curve. Link to comment
Dru's Pet Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I'm in. Not sure how it's going to affect the curve. Actually, there was no >140 so I had to fudge it a little. Link to comment
