Those of more often the age groups of people who can take a summer off to do something like a x-country tour. There were 12 participants (not counting the leader) on my x-country tour. Four were in their early 20s. Of those 4, 2 had just finished college, 1 had just finished her masters, and 1 was about to start her senior year of college. There was 1 person in their 50s. She was a teacher who had the summer off. 5 people were 60 or older and retired. The oldest started the tour at age 76 and turned 77 during the trip. I and another fellow were in our mid-30s. We were both between jobs.


This is pretty consistent with what I have seen on the road since then while travelling solo.
