and wouldn't you know it — the one local restaurant is run byjoel‘s mum, rosea...? well, you know, that's how i met helen. that's how we met. we met in a storm of butterflies. but anyway, you know, like, my dad, he was a forest ranger he retired from being in those mountains for over 30 years. when we met, there was nothing here. people came on day trips, people came from far away, they paid outside operators to come here, and none of the money stayed in the community. so really what we wanted to do, starting our busines, was have more people come here, stay in the community, stay longer. and the numbers are much lower than they used to be in the area, with the butterflies? you'd see them on the roads flying in a river. sometimes we see that in some places, but not as often as i think older people talk about, seeing that. i've only been here for four seasons, so in four seasons, it's kind of... ..it's actually gotten better, the numbers have gotten slightly better in the last four seasons, but it's still dramatically lower than what it was. ..than it used to be.
