+Pegasi Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 I am 43, my daughter is 10 and my dog is 6 so the average age is 19.67.
danoshimano Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 44 When I started caching I was 41, and when this thread started I was 43. Sometimes I am accompanied by my 41 year old bride.

+Inmountains Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 My dad, who has fairly advanced Alzheimer's and my mom, who beat Breast cancer last year cache. Dad is 72 and mom is 69. They are closing in on cache number 900. I am 46, wife is 45, kids are 26, 19, 18, 16, 15, and 10. All have cached at some point. My sister caches, she is 42, husband is 50, and their kids are 22, 20, 16, 15, 13, 10 and 5. Yep, mom and dad got 13 grandkids from just two of us. Had to pick up caching so we would stop making babies!! Didn't average out the age, but I am sure someone will. Mom turns 70 next May, hopefully she will have 1000 finds by then!
+DeRock & The Psychic Cacher Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Are we talking mentality or reality?
+Tallahassee-Lassie Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 I'm 52, daughter is 28 & granddaughter (who is great at this) is almost 6.
+TheAlabamaRambler Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 I am 51, fat and crippled yet quite handsome. My wife GeoRose is 52, slim, active and lovely. Our kids are boys 31, 29, 24 (and his wife, my DIL is 24) and 17, our adopted daughter 24 and daughter 16. All of us cache to some degree. GeoRose has somewhere around 100 finds, but she only goes with me to caches that I have found and know to be well-stocked traditionals. The kids all have somewhere between 40-60 finds, mostly just to tag along with their old man. All of my family enjoys camping and the outdoors, none of them quite 'get' geocaching! Have fun out there! Ed
+Right Wing Wacko Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 I'm 3 1/2. I was born on April 30 2003.... the day I found my first cache
+Ambrosia Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 I'm 3 1/2. I was born on April 30 2003.... the day I found my first cache That's cute. Lep had a formula for figuring out a person's age by the date of when they first started caching, but I can't remember what it was now. I'm 31, my husband's 33, my daughter is 12 and my son is 9. I won't mention my parents, brother, or MIL's ages just in case they want to be secretive about it. They can post if they wanna.

+H2OBob Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 59, and getting younger every time I find a cache. Only DNFs age me
+geosliders Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 We've been caching since Feb 2002 - our group covers 7, 10,11, 36 & 38 - we felt like we were some of the young ones in the area until we went to the NY Geocachers event this weekend and bumped into some people who went to the same college that my husband and I met at it. So, we told the couple "oh, we met there in 1986" - the 'girl' part of the couple then said - Wow, I was ONE YRS OLD in 1986! Ugghhhh - talk about feelin' OLD!
+VeryLost Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 (edited) My average age at the moment is 20, though it increases by a year every 24 months. I know, I know. That was mean. Edited September 22, 2006 by VeryLost
+ElectricBird Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 I'm 13. I started when I was 12. Go crazy. The only help I have from my parents is driving me to caches and letting me out. I found out about Geocaching on my own and plan, hide, and find all of them on my own.
+Neoncouple Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 I'm 30 My husband is 34 and our daughter is 17 months, she was 19 days old at her first caching event.
+Shadow_Coyote Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Currently 14, own my own GPS, and go caching with my dad, 67GTRShelby regularly
+coreykat Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Couldn't resist. I'm 46 as is Coreykat's mom. Coreykat began @ 9, his sister 11 and his grandparents (who have gone caching with us) are 74 and 80.
+webjpn&appletini Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 I am 24 and my wife is 23. Others that cache with us from time to time would be my wifes brother who is 15, my wifes sister who is 16, and my brother who is 21.
+Tall Rice Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 I'm not much for posting personal info on web pages, but I can tell you that I remember watching Star Trek...in it's original release - on TV.

primeaux Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 32, 37, 18, 16, 12 & 9 = 20.6 average. Can I say I'm 20, then? Nah, too young to drink.
+joyojoyojoy Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 I started geocaching 2 months ago at the age of 52 after being introduced to the sport by a 22-year-old friend. Two of my kids, ages 22 and 19, are both geocachers now, as is my fiance, age 50.
+Savoy 6 Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 I'm 50, my assistants (sons)are 7 and 14. "I'm gowing older, but not up"
+sunrise searcher Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 I am 40, my hubby is 32, my daughter usually goes with me and she is 3-1/2. I will start taking my son with us on the easy jaunts after he is born in November. I just started geocaching this past weekend on a camping trip in Colorado, but I think it is a great way for people of all ages to see new country, get some exercise and just have a lot of fun. It is a great way for family members to spend quality time together.
wicked77 Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 28... soon to be 29 (ack!) - however, if I would've known about this years ago I definitely would've been into it then as well. My other geocaching friends are in their early 30s.
+Cedar Grove Seekers Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 We are 36 and 35. I'll also respond on behalf of other family members (all married couples) with: 34 and 33 37 and 38 59 and 60
danoshimano Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 Does it really matter??? Does it really matter that the question was asked???
+disenchanted Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 I'll be 38 on October 11th, Pooter2001 (My significant other) is 27, Kaitbryn (my oldest daughter) is 10. My youngest, who geocaches with us, but does not care to have an account or log her finds, will be 8 on October 12th.
