+MaxEntropy Posted September 5, 2002 Posted September 5, 2002 I'm 39.9, married and my two kids are 7 and ten and they just love this game. I design computerized building automation systems. My wife gave me a lot of grief for buying a "$200 toy" (E-Trex Legend, I told her $200) until I started going out every weekend with the kids, getting a lot of exercise hiking around in the hills looking for hidden treasure. Then she was thrilled and told me that I should have bought it a long time ago. Speaking of techno-geeks. My brother joined me last week for a hunt. I couldn't get enough birds for a fix, so my brother pulled his GPSMap out of the car, plugged the NMEA port into his laptop and carried the whole rig down the trail looking for the cache. You should have seen the looks we got carrying a laptop and GPS into the woods, down the trail with his son out in front with the antenna. I was joking that they now know what techno-nerds look like when hiking. If that didn't work, we could have pulled the Northstar DGPS off of his boat and ran the antenna and differential antenna up a tree to get a better fix. Carrying the 12V battery would have made it a little harder. Quote

Oh! Bandeirante Posted September 7, 2002 Posted September 7, 2002 I´m 45, son Philip is 12 and daughter Carolin is 8. Dear wife once again asked for explanation last night about the hobby - it doesn´t seem to make sense to her. As there are 3 of us in the team, when asked how much the eTrex Vista cost... I divided by 3 . Good question here might be how old we´ll be when we find out first cache as we´re the only members of this sect down in this neck of the woods !! David Quote

Priebe's Pride Posted September 7, 2002 Posted September 7, 2002 36 this week, and 39 for other half. We got into this when my parents (60 and 59) got into it. We all go caching with kids 7 & 10. I don't know who is harder to keep up with, kids or parents.... Quote

+cachecrazies Posted September 8, 2002 Posted September 8, 2002 Looks like we rank in the top of the "mature" group (or is that - finely aged?". Cachecrazies are 55 and 54. Geocaching is doing a lot to keep us young! We're gone on weekends more than our kids or grandkids are! Quote

A group of us were remembering the good old days of computing the other day. One guy said he remembered when you had to hit 'EOB' instead of RETURN (I remember that too). I said "I remember when computer terminals didn't have BACKSPACE keys." The guy next to me said "YOU HAD KEYS?!" I'm 49. My wife is 47, but looks in her 20's. I'm a very lucky man! Quote

ejmct Posted September 12, 2002 Posted September 12, 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." You mean that the US census actually tracks the demographics of geocachers now? Has the sport become *that* popular?

+TeeEff Posted September 20, 2002 Posted September 20, 2002 My wife and I started geocaching just shortly before our trip to Kauai. It made our hiking in Kauai more fun and we found Travel Bugs and GeoCoins, which made it even more fun! It inspired us to place our own cache on Kauai. I'm 51 and my wife is 34. Quote
klaatu Posted September 21, 2002 Posted September 21, 2002 Sure seems like that's the average age, 30's and 40's. I am in that group. When I was in my teens and twenties all I ever did was wander around to go on hikes and bike rides. Nothing organized at all. Of course GPS was unheard of too, I would have been happy to use such a thing back then. But without the Internet I'd still have wandered aimlessly. Quote
