What's the oldest living geocacher you know of?

[+Lacomo]

Topic title is pretty plain. What's the oldest living geocacher you know of? I'm 64 and still going strong. I'm sure in a few years I will be lowering the D/T I go after, but not yet.

The oldest one I know in our area is Fisnjack. I think he's ~75. He has incredible stamina and is still hiking up 4 star mountains. Way to go Jack!

I introduced my grandmother and her husband to geocaching and they have since found some on their own. She is 85 and he is 80.

Oh, this has come up before, although I don't feel like looking it up on this holiday weekend. In my area, this guy is in his mid-80's. His CAPS LOCK logs are great reading. I could find out exactly how old he is, but I'm sure someone will come along with someone who will beat him in years lived.

I am 82 and the wife is 81. We are very active geocachers. This spring we finished caching in all of the lower 48, going to Hawaii the last of this month to celebrate out 60 wedding anv. by geocaching. Then visit our son in Alaska to finish up geocaching in all the states. BTW we will be finding our 2,000 cache in Hawaii. We just finished this week finding caches in all of Washington State Counties. Started geocaching just about six years ago in August of 2001. I also created and conduct a GPS Accuracy Game at the Spring Fling and GeoLuau since 2005. We do enjoy traveling and finding caches. I have lost three of my tendons attached to my right roto-cuff so I can no longer flyfish etc. but I can still drive an automatic shift vehicle. Dick, W7WT

My grandmother went geocaching with me after she got out of the hospital, She is 89. We did one cache at a Cracker Barrel in Indianapolis. She enjoyed it so much that next spring (she will be 90) when she comes to visit family in CO. she wants me to drive down from Cheyenne and take her caching "for real"- her words. Amazing woman!

I've met a 92 year old that still goes after them.

I don't know exact ages, but geo13 and his better half are both in their 70's. They have found a few caches.

 

I've heard that quiggle is in her late 70's.

Sadly, the oldest cacher I knew of passed on a short time ago. She cached under the name of CenturyOldCacher and her profile says she wasn't sure if she was 100 or 101.

A local SoCal geocacher, Garagedude, just turned 80!

Well I know I'm not the oldest, by far, there are some days, after long cache runs, that I feel well over 110 years old. That should count for something...right???

[+Robespierre]

The other day my Dad (Rawhide 1) got a new knee. He hasn't geocached in many months now (but who knows?). He's 80.

There is a couple here that I believe are in their 70's that are VERY active cachers. And they don't seem at all afraid of the more difficult caches in the area either. From what I've seen, if you keep active, you keep healthy, even in your later years. And geocaching is a great way to keep active, so I'm not at all surprised that even older folks are participating.

Actually, coming from one who knows, Quiggle is in her early eighties and still going strong.
