Peace Star & Rivi Spike Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 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... just replying to the age of people I am hitting 30 this year. Thanks Peace Star
supermanfan Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 Our Caching team consists of Myself (34) My wife (35) and our daughters (12) and (13)
armyrotc1 Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 I am 19 and have enjoyed every minute of geocaching so far!
MysteryLady Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 Okay, I don't have time to read all 308 responses -- so... did you average them all out for us? What IS the average age of geocachers!! -- carol
+mbrownjer Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 I'm about 3 years older than the last time I answered this question on the forums
+1BuzyMom Posted June 2, 2005 Posted June 2, 2005 Well now... since my last post, we have had some minor changes... We've all went up in age! We have broken the 10,000 year old mark with a total of 10168 years of age over 310 people over 10 years or older for an average of 32.8 years per cacher. If you figure all of the years into days, we come to (now get this!) 3,711,320 days total that we have all shared on this earth. I guess that means we have seniority somewhere with something... As soon as I find out what that means I'll let you know and you (we) can cut in line and be served 1st!!! lol... When you read this, have a good day and a better tomorrow! Okay, so these calculations are only for those 10 years of age and older. As a parent that caches alone with my 3,5 and 7 year olds I was wondering if any one else was interested in the numbers being left out (those under 10)?? By reading this thread there are alot of younger cachers being exposed as well as participating in the Geo experience. Is it possible to see either a number total and age average for the under 10 crowd or maybe a set of stats including them??? Just curious. Since I am not doing the leg (mind) work on this I will understand if this is not pursued.
+airmetro Posted June 2, 2005 Posted June 2, 2005 39 in August...but I'm a YOUNG 39. In fact, it's hard for me to believe that I'm not still 25 or so. Maybe 28, on most days.
+Newfiezedder Posted June 2, 2005 Posted June 2, 2005 27 and just starting out in this brave new world
metalmaster229 Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 i am 15 years old, yes a little young but it is fun. i go by myself most of the time but parents come sometimes, mom is 37 and does it and dad is 40. well peace. Metalmaster229

+Trucker Lee Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 I have figured out that age is a state of mind. Wife tells me I have lost my mind, therefore ................... I CAN'T AGE!!!

Mustcache Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 I remember when Eisenhower was President. My signature says it best.
+Geckolovers Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 I turned 47 today...and missed my first FTF by minutes.... I am occasionally accompanied by the rest of the geckolovers...ages 45 and 12. And I can't possibly be old because I can still party like it's 1989.
+Tencap Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 I'm 44 and my daughter is 10, son is 6. Hey, what happend to my hair?
+The GeoGadgets Team Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 45 (my birthday is the 17th of this month... send presents to P. O. Box 11, Alfred, ME 04002) RedwoodRed; 35 (his birthday is the 23rd! 10 years and 6 days apart) Steak N Eggs 13 (going on 30 - he thinks) Red XIII 9 (and Geocaching grows on him the older he gets) Copperhead So, as a team, our average age is 25-1/4... Has anyone averaged the ages posted so far (including adding a year for those who posted their ages a year ago)?
+SgtSue Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 I've had 26 birthdays. My twin has had 27. He was born first so he gets the odd years I get the even.
+mgbmusic Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 My Driver's License says 29. I personally believe you're only as old as you feel...somedays I drop the 2 at the begining. Other days, I add a 0 at the end...
+VeryLost Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 I'm 40. I'm still trying to figure out how that happened. I distinctly recall being a teenager, well hell, it couldn't have been more than a few years ago. But here I am, 40. I guess I ought to try to get the hang of it one of these days. It isn't bad, though. I got my first GPSr as a 40th birthday present to myself, and in looking around for ways to justify it, I stumbled on geocaching. I'm getting a good deal more exercise than I was before, and assuming I don't get Lyme disease or Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever or full body poison ivy or something from rooting around in dense woods, I'll probably live longer as a result of geocaching.
nonaeroterraqueous Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 We're 29 and (just days away from) 32. Is anyone keeping track? I can't believe anyone cares.
+Big Max Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 the calendar says 46, my mind says 26, my body says 66, take your pick. The good news is my younger brother is always getting senior citizen discounts without asking. I have never even been offered one! Although the discount would be nice.
+camperbeast Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 I'm 63 and a full-time rv'er. I dont climb tall mountains but have a good time of shorter ones.
+TheManInStripes Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 So, has anyone taken all the data and calculated the average?
+hiikaash Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 young hiikaash is 11, and older hiikaash is 40 Young Hiikaash manages the forums
+baloo&bd Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 I just celebrated the 33rd aniversary of being 18 in July.
+parker313 Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 (edited) I'm 30 (31 next month), my husband just turned 29 this past week. My kids are 3 and 1 Edited September 11, 2006 by parker313
+TheManInStripes Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 OK, no one answered my question, and I haven't taken the time to read the whole thread yet, but tonight, during MNF, I will go through the entire thread and figure out the average age of people who posted. I will do my best to impute ages for people who may have posted over a year ago. If birthdates are apparent and I can see that they've had 2 birthdays since they posted, I'll add 2. I'll post the results as well as the data in such a format so that anyone can re-compute it from the spot I post the results at a future date, when I get it all done.
The Muse Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 I'm 31, and my husband is 31; no kids to skew the average
+Tallahassee Lassie Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 I'm 43, hubby is 41, and my kids who cache are 19, 18, 14, and 7.
