Coincidence
pays off
for both

NEWS STAFF

A PAIR OF smart
hikers and a coincidence
paid off Tuesday night
with a quick rescue of a
Vancouver man trapped
by darkness.

The hikers were John Paul
Sweeney and Michael Jull.
The coincidence was that the
night Sweeney ‘‘chose’’ to get
stranded by failing light was
the same night that regular
Emergency Measures
Organization practices are
held.

Sweeney and Jull left the
Cypress Bowl area at about
9:30 a.m. Tuesday, bound
for the Lions by way of the
Howe Sound Crest Trail.

‘Along the way they
separated, with Sweency
pressing on to the Lions while
Jull wasted in the area of Un-
necessary Mountain

Sweeney made ut to the
Lions and then back to the
area where he had left Jull.
His tking partner wasn’!
there, but he’d Ieft a note,
saying that he was headed
back to the parking lot.

Jull made tt back to the
duo's car at Cypress about 9
pm the same ume that
darkness had set in to the ex-
tent that Sweency, still about
40 minutes away from the
parking fot, could no longer
see the trail markings.

Sweeney, described by a
search official as a ““heads-
p'' hiker, stayed put, donn-
ing cxtra clothes he was Car-
rying against the increasing
cold) and waiung for the
moon to appear and provide
cnough hgh to keep him go-
ing
