Interviewing Adventure Families: Meet the Moody's

[articulate]

I'm working on a series of "Adventure Parents" interviews with different families who like to travel together despite the challenges of doing so. It's kind of cool because it'll help inspire us all, and it'll also share trip ideas and other tips.

So! My first round in the ring was with Roger & Hilary Moody from Utah. You know them from their awesome Southern Utah trips ( The Swell (http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=43976), and Comb Ridge (http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=41740) for example). And they have a new Kamparoo Trailer they're putting to use.

What do you think? Big fun? Yes.

Who's next?

Cool. I liked the one about the lighter fluid. I have to admit to using sythetic fire logs. I get one of those going, then throw some real logs on top. With the kids, I just don't have time to properly get a fire started.

I think that is great! My wife and I are preparing to take our 3yr old on his first camping trip this year. We too will be utilizing a LX450. I am looking forward to learning more from this section in the months ahead!

Fantastic read... pass the Jameson.


"It's coming out!!" Classic Zander. :victory:

Thanks for the opportunity, Mark. It was fun for Hilary and I to discuss the questions after answering them individually and spawned some truly interesting conversations.

Next time it will be about a dad, solo, with his two youngn's on a week long trip while mom is away at graduate school...

Yeah, I'm flying solo with my little guy (2 1/2) for ten days across Labrador and Newfoundland. We're looking forward to a little 'guy time'. The definition of 'guy time' is where we spend time missing mom together.


Thanks for sharing the article. Nice to see nice people doing nice things with nice kids. Hope for the world.

Cheers,
Mark

Good punch line.

What are you guys going to do along the way? And what are you driving? Tell me more about that cool trip!

Pretty cool Mark

Pretty cool Mark. I had a opportunity to meet the Moody clan at Joshua Tree not too long ago, but was unable to get our schedules to coincide. Bummer, I think these are my kind of people.

Holy Sponge Bob! That is an Overlanding Treasure. Reminds me of many years ago..

[articulate]

Overlanding Treasure.... see, now we're talkin'.




Pretty cool Mark. ...I think these are my kind of people.

Great idea Mark.

[Ryanmb21]

Great blog post there!

[photoman]

Great idea and a great read.

Look forward to hearing about other members with kids.

After reading so many of Mr. Moody's trip reports, and enjoying every one of them, it was nice reading that interview. It just reaffirmed the belief I've already held that the Moody clan is a great bunch. As the kids get older, rest assured that they will be just as fun to travel and adventure with as they are as munchkins. Our kids are both strapping teens now and will be leaving the nest in a few years, we'll miss them on our future travels when they start lives of their own. I guess we'll just have to relive those years travelin' with the kids through other folk's adventures and from quality posts like this.

Well done! :wings:

Start them young. My daughters are 19yrs old & still like going camping and backroad trips w/ me. I don't remember their age but they asked for a camping birthday party when they were younger. I had to turn it down because I'm a single dad & couldn't see camping with 8 kids by my self.

Awesome to "Meet the Moodys"! and another great idea from Articulate!

[datrupr]

Great idea, Mark. I love it! Let me know if you want to interview the Pearsons, we'll be happy to contribute.

[tdesanto]

[mesha]

[Willman]

Love it Mark!

The Moody fam is a blast to travel with.

I count myself lucky to be a part of a great group here!
