+Team HHD1 Posted May 1, 2005 Posted May 1, 2005 My guess is that it is more popular with older people (35-50) than the younger folks... I could be wrong. Please don't misinterpret my age range, I'm not saying 35 to 50 is "being old"! I think your old when you stop moving!!! lol... by the way, I'll be 33 this month...
Black Mage Posted May 1, 2005 Posted May 1, 2005 (edited) You're not far off. I posted this same question in the UTAG forums a while ago. I found that most are in their 40's. Though I myself am 22. I'm pretty sure I've seen the same question posted here before too, I'm pretty sure it came out the same. Edited May 1, 2005 by Black Mage
+Apple Dumpling Gangg Posted May 1, 2005 Posted May 1, 2005 I am 32, my husband will be 32 in another month. Our kids love to go geocaching and they are 10, 9, soon to 8, and 6.5.
Radman Forever Posted May 1, 2005 Posted May 1, 2005 I was born July 3rd, 1985 in Owosso, Michigan. I was the only baby in the baby room and was the center of attention with all the nurses. I have been the center of attention ever since. I am 19.
+hb'sbear04 Posted May 1, 2005 Posted May 1, 2005 We're 33 and 43; my mom caches with us (67), as do his mom and dad (both 64); my sister and nephew also come up to cache with us a lot (39 and 8). My sister and her husband got us started (both 32). I guess that makes our average age 42-ish.
+Blaidd-Drwg Posted May 1, 2005 Posted May 1, 2005 Whoa, almost out of the age range. I'm currently 49
WH Posted May 1, 2005 Posted May 1, 2005 My kids treat me like Im 60. My older brother treats me like Im 10. I wish I was 25. Somedays I feel like Im 70.

Tahosa and Sons Posted May 1, 2005 Posted May 1, 2005 Old enough to not get carded anymore. Young enough to still hide some good tough caches.
+Miragee Posted May 1, 2005 Posted May 1, 2005 57 And, I haven't had this much fun since I bought my last horse, and that was more than 15 years ago . . .

+VENTUREMAN7/ "A" TEAM" Posted May 1, 2005 Posted May 1, 2005 VENTUREMAN7 44, VENTURELADY 30ish, MINI CACHER SAMMI 11, MINI CACHER JAX 9 (our Dog VENTUREMUTT 10)
+AuntieWeasel Posted May 1, 2005 Posted May 1, 2005 Forty something, and soon to be forty and a little something more. I second your observation. With some notable and impressive exceptions, this is not a young person's sport. I find that very depressing, because I thought I'd got my hands around something youthful and Xtreme at last. Feh! My SO thinks it's because the geek gene is dying out. You know, the guys who soldered together ham radios in a shed in the bottom of the garden and stuff. I hope he's wrong. We need geeks, and never more than now.
+briansnat Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 Fourty six here (How'd that happen? Last I looked I was 29).
+EXDNR Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 35 years young myself, but sometimes feeling way old (like when my back goes out)...
+pyro2355 Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 im 18 my self and the people i normaly go with are 22, 18, 17 and 19
+Team HHD1 Posted May 2, 2005 Author Posted May 2, 2005 (edited) Actually I failed to tell the WHOLE truth... Team HHD1 is My wife 30, Daughter 10, Son 6, and myself... Glad to see folks of all ages enjoy this sport. I guess this is ONE thing that joins all generations. Not common among most things at all. Anyone else?, don't be scared - nothing to be ashamed of... I don't look at it as a year older; I see it as God giving me a promotion! Edited May 2, 2005 by Team HHD1
+welch Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 My kids treat me like Im 60. My older brother treats me like Im 10. I wish I was 25. Somedays I feel like Im 70. This age question used to get asked at least 3 times a month, but I hadn't noticed it in at least 8 weeks or so. But maybe I've been missed it the last six(?) times?
+Harry Dolphin Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 Boo Hoo! Team HDD1 called me old! My average age is 57.
+Team HHD1 Posted May 2, 2005 Author Posted May 2, 2005 Aww now cmon! I said I think old is when you stop moving... !!! Please don't drop the guilt trip on me! I know a man who is 73 and can out do me on nearly everything with few exceptions. ahem... How bout if I said you're old when you reach 100 years of age? Now there's some time under your belt, but with the help of a scooter you can still GeoCache!
Trinity's Crew Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 I'm 45, my wife is 42, my daughter is 15, my son is 12. As for the other half of the crew, he is 30, his wife is 28, the kids are 10, 7, and 3.
+cjf Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 (edited) My guess is that it is more popular with older people (35-50) than the younger folks... I could be wrong. I'm 45, so that would put me in the OLDER PEOPLE group?????? When the heck did that happen? Kind of makes me wonder what group those 51 and older are in........ Edited May 2, 2005 by cjf
+Maclir Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 I'm as old as my tongue, and a little older than my teeth.
+justybug Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 33, and my geo pup is 21 ish...but he's still not allowed to drink.. no id!
+TEAM ANUCI Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 I am 34, my husband is soon to be 36, the kids are 8 and 7. Jill
+The Saints Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 I am a strapping 42 and valerie is a young 46. Geocaching has traditional, micro, etc. Perhaps geocachers should make a new type - adult only, still nothing nasty and drug free. Hic, excuse me..
+Old Salty Dog Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 We're 40 and 41; started caching at 38 and 39 - - I think you're right on! "Old" people rule!
+badlands Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 Average age? Yes, I'm an average age....for people my age.
+Mr. Fantastic Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 I am a spry 32 and my caching partner(most of the time) EmGeo is going to be 3 in June. My only very infrequently caching wife is 33 and we have a future male geocacher due in August. I guess we bring the average age down a bit when we start counting into the future.
+Blue Bomb Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 34. Been caching since I was 32. My daughter sometimes accompanies me; she is 8.
+brodiebunch Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 1/3 of brodiebunch is 40, the other 1/3 is soon to be 39 and the other is 4
