Moody RidgeP O Box 203Avery, CA 95224ph: (209) 743-5102robertmoodycs@yahoo.com
What started out as a tragedy has become a happy tale of a parcel
of land and the family that settled there.
In 1980 the Moodys settled into their dream home
which took Bob Moody three and a half years
of weekends to build.
On August 17, 1992 all those
days of toil went up in flames as
the Old Gulch Fire razed the
family homestead in about 35
minutes.
When all was done, they were
left with eighteen inches of ashes
and a landscape that resembled
the surface of the moon.
