+RobertM Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 I was just wondering what the general age of people is that geocache? I'm 28. I saw geocaching on TV and it looked really interesting and kind of fun. Hope I'm not playing a childs games. :-) But it doesn't seem so. Rob Quote Link to comment
+CYBret Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 Geocaching takes in people of all ages. I myself am 35 . . there's even a guy on here named Markwell who is . . I dunno . . 80 something I think. Bret "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again." Mt. 13:44 Quote Link to comment
+brdad Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 80 huh? I bet back in his day, a person had to walk uphill 5 miles in the snow both ways to get to a cache, using nothing but the sun, stars, and a witching stick. Myself? 38 There are a lot of judgemental people in the world, and I think all those people are worthless dirtballs. Quote Link to comment

+The Leprechauns Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 Daddy Leprechaun is 42 and Little Leprechaun is 8. I prefer to think of it in terms of "Team Leprechaun" having an average age of 25. There are LOTS of us who use geocaching as a great way to spend time with the kids outdoors! x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x- "Daddy, are we there yet? No, .17 to go. Are we there yet? No, .16 to go....."

+briansnat Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 According to US Census Bureau statistics, the average Geocacher is a married, Caucasian male, 37 years old with 1.5 children and employed in the Information Systems field. Actually I just made those statistics up becuase they sounded good, but I bet I'm not too far off. "Life is a daring adventure, or it is nothing" - Helen Keller Quote Link to comment
Lyra Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 Mentally, I'm about 16 (e.g., my odd profile). Physically, I've been around for 38 years, now. I like the averaging thing, though. I have a 15 month old daughter. Quote Link to comment

+Team StitchesOnQuilts Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 I remember where I was when I heard that Kennedy had been assassinated. I also remember attending the 1962 World's Fair in Seattle. I'm another one who remembers when MTV played music all day. I also remember when it was a big deal for a company to have an IBM 360 computer. The bank I worked at did, and we had to have special clearance to get into the computer room.

bug_zapper Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 I'm 40 and ready to die now, have done everything and geocaching came along just in time as I was about to go to florida and lay down to die.
