Over-Fifty Active Lifestyle
Advice, Stories And Tips

Fiftysense.net is a website dedicated to assisting us Baby Boomers and beyond in finding the latest information on getting the most out of life for active seniors at any age. Our initial focus will be in the fields of human powered Outdoor Activities and Adventure Travel, including Geo-caching, but we encourage people with experience in areas such as health, aging, humor, to share their advice and stories on any topic.

This is a site of Boomers, by Boomers and for Boomers. We want everyone to understand that it's never too late to try something new. Won't it be great to have a place to go to find answers on evolving actively and pursuing new ideas, or just getting a good laugh by sharing a story? We know you are not only sitting on the front porch swing. Wait, are there even front porches anymore? There are many who have stories to tell, comments, and knowledge to share, so "Email Us your fifty sense!"

What's New

If you haven't visited us in a while, we have started reviewing products according to the Fifties Friendly Criteria. There are more golf tips for you to look at now that spring is around the corner.

We have added more stories and pictures, and welcome more stories from the readers. We will be giving away a free pair of Thorlo Socks to anyone who contributes a review or story that appears on our site!

Email Us your stories and reviews!

Our Look

We have a new look! We have read about Blackle.com being used by Google Custom Search to save energy. We believe there is value to the concept that we may be saving energy by using a black screen. It also reminds us that we need to keep taking small steps to save energy. Is this page still easy to read? Which do you like better, white or black?

Note that a print-out of any of the pages will have a white background so you won't be wasting ink!
