Im 67 and had angioplasty surgery last year and can still run up and down these hills.I only wish I had heard of geocaching years ago,but im having a ball.I always wondered what i would do when I retired,and this is a great way to spend your time and get the exercise i want.

Actually I just made those statistics up becuase they sounded good, but I bet I'm not too far off.


 

Lets see...

 

Single caucasion male, 35 years old, no children, employed in the legal/health care field.

 

Darby the Wonder Pup is 54, using Husqui's formula.

Where are Majicman & Eric O'Connor when you need 'em???

Mother Gootz: 39 & 40 is creeping up soon!

Gander Gootz: 38

Gosslings: Almost 3 & Almost 1

 

Caching is LIFE!

 

Where in the nursery rhyme does it say Humpty Dumpty is an egg?

My general age is "New" (as in iron, space etc)

My mental age is the age I think I am

My physical age means I don't even think about the 5/5s

 

42 of your earth years, Remember numbers do not mean accurate.

 

BS

I know what's out there ... I just can't find it!

If you are counting birthdays, I am 9 and a half and that's less than 18. In fact, both of my kids (assistant geocachers) have passed me up at 12 and 15. I just don't age as fast as the rest of you icon_razz.gif

I didn't think I was old until I read the ages of all these geocachers. I'm now 61 (soon to be 62). I was depressed until I realized I'm doing what all these youngsters do. I'm talking only about geocaching, of course. Maybe us oldies should start a Senior Division.

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.

Well, I'm 36 and my son who accompanies me sometimes is 13. That gives us an average of 24.5. On the other hand I sometimes walk across the campus of BYU where I attended in the 80's and think I recognize students. Then I realize that I probably don't since my old classmates are as old as I am. icon_cool.gif

If there's a guy here who's 40 with 3 kids, we'd average perfectly.

Caucasian Female

30 years old

2 children

Stay home with the kids

 

And I couldn't get my hubby to geocache to save his life! icon_wink.gif
