We old folks are part of the largest generation--The baby boomers. You will cater to us and our money. You young whiper snappers will have to wait your turn. LOL
My DW and I are 52 and have attended 2 Samboree's in the past couple years that we have enjoyed. However we were by far the youngest couple there and did still find a noticeable age gap that many of the other people noticed and commented on as well.
We were repeatedly told how young we seemed and it was difficult to relate some individuals who made those comments.
It almost seemed that since we were the age of their own adult children that they treated us like young'in kids.
We have decided not to attend another rally or Jamboree for a number of years until we can fit in better.
WE are very unusual in that we have been empty nesters for several years with both our children on their own and are able to travel quite extensively compared to the vast majority of friends and co-workers our age.
We don't mind this age difference when our regular camping and quite enjoy meeting anybody of any age and but at the Jamboree' or Rally's our age difference unfortunately becomes quite noticeable.
