jackpinetracker Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 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... 35 and holding for the last 14 years

GlobeGeorge Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 I'm sweet sixteen and licensed to drive (I live in NH), but I usually bring my mom along (age CENSORED) because we enjoy caching together.
Team Carrington Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Me = 17 Parents (combined age, they wouldn't let me put their ages ) = 100
+OutbackDon Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 46 here, can't get my son, 11, on board though he loves rifleing through the loot, but doesn't get into the best part, the hunt.
+geospyder Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 63 tomorrow - yep - everyone will be celebrating my birthday with a big dinner - only they'll be calling it Thanksgiving.
+Colorado Cacher Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Old enough to know better than answer this question.
+K0BKL Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 72 and have been doing this stuff since 2003 Sometimes I wonder if I am too old when the cache is a mile from the car?
Bluepencil Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 I'm 27, my wife 29 and daughter going to be 3 in Jan 31st.
+ccleland1219 Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 My group of friends just heard about it in August. Since then we have been going strong. We are all in the 30-34 age range. My husband and I (32 & 31) love to go with our kids (4.5 & 2.5). They absolutely love the hike and the trinket rewards at the end.
+stillwaters Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 Looks like I'm older than average at 53, but still far away from being the oldest. MomH is 46. Lil Cacher checks in at 9, but started when he was 7.
+NightPilot Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 59. That means I've been 39 for........ um, not enough fingers & toes, can't find the calculator.......... long enough.
+sector001 Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 We are 37, 36, 11 and 8. We have a 1-year-old that goes with us, but he really doesn't know what's going on yet.
+TheTwoCavaliers Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 I'm 47 and I love caching. It gets me off the couch and outside. Great exercise!
+normdiver Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 Im 52, my sons are 13 and 15, when not finding caches we are metal detecting.
FlagFinder Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 im 15 and im feeling alive my partners are 14, 13, 46, 75 but dont worry im a safe cacher you should be scared of me

I am in my 40's wth 4 kids, 10, 8, 6, & 3! And please vote for my photo entry. I have tried to put a link but I am doing something wrong. It is the last photo on page 26 of the photo's and it is entitled "If Indiana Jones was a geocacher". Thanks ! Edited November 27, 2006 by janet31
+GoleeMD Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 I'm 29, but I'm not "officially" a geocacher yet. I heard about geocaching from a friend years ago and thought it sounded cool, but never took an active interest in it until recently when I happened to find a microcache while out on a walk. My one year old son was crashing through some leaves and I noticed he was kicking a small container. I checked it out only to find that it was a geocache. I got home and looked up caches near where I was walking and found out that it was part of a series, and this particular one had gone missing a while back. It was about 100 yards away from the original location, but I had no way of knowing at the time. I've added a GPS to my Christmas wish list this year.
+Team CeDo Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 (edited) we are 32 & 33 and I we have 2 children that love to cache, my daughter is 6 and son is 2 and loves to say " find it?" we have been doing this for a little over a year now! Edited November 30, 2006 by Team CeDo
stlsportster Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 37, havent gotten the kids (2 and 5 months) into it yet
+loande Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 I'm 47 and often cache alone with my 7 yr old beagle Boyd, but sometimes with my son(15) and a friend of his(14).
+SniperChicken Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 I am 34 ,when i first got into this sport i was expecting the majority of the cachers involved to be in their twenties or so. As i got a little experience and started hiding caches i kept in mind what the age group was that may be hunting these caches.In this area (the Mid South) it seems that the average age is around 40 years,in my experience anyway. I am not seeing a lot of younger cachers like i expected,i even hid a few "younger kid " themed caches hoping to draw more to the sport,an attempt to get them interested. Regardless of the age i find the majority of most cachers to be introverted,some just need that little extra nudge to get them to get used to you.But,you can't hardly beat the gentle nature of this sport.
InnocentCriminal Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 Just started cachin' this year, I'm 26. My fiance' is 24. My sister who got me into this whole mess is 32.

+KKTH3 Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 After a thorough observation of this thread, I have determined the average age of all that have posted is 273.15 Kelvin.
surferacf1 Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 I'm 280 (in dog-years) and have a 2 and 5 year old (not in dog-years - in toddler and princess years) Fancy way to say 32! P.S.: 15
