“I was home from college and had
sat down to watch TV. Dad comes
in with a pile of mail, sits down next
to me and starts to read. I look over
and see tears running down his
cheeks. I say ‘Dad, what’s wrong?’
He said, ‘Pete, I can’t believe this.
I was just sent the comments from
the first heli-hiking guests at the
Cariboo Lodge. I can’t believe what
these people are saying about their
experiences. I’ve never read such
emotional comments... they are
baring their souls! I had no idea it
was going to be this good. I don’t
care if we lose money on this trip.
We’re going to keep running it.’
That’s when it clicked, when
I understood the vision of crafting
experiences.”
