One Man Safe, Another Still Missing In Separate Searches Near Vancouver

The Canadian Press, 25 Sep, 2015 01:12 PM
    VANCOUVER — A search has resumed for a 49-year-old hiker overdue on a lengthy expedition through bush near Pitt Lake, northeast of Vancouver.
     
    The man left Sept. 9 on a trek that was supposed to take no more than 15 days.
     
    Family members reported the experienced hiker overdue when he had not returned by earlier this week.
     
    Ridge Meadows Search and Rescue, along with search teams from several other communities in the region, began looking for the man on Thursday.
     
    As teams headed out Friday morning near Pitt Lake, members of North Shore Rescue were just wrapping up their latest overnight mission.
     
    They walked a young Oregon hiker off the Howe Sound Crest trail at around 7 a.m., after he called for help when heavy rain washed out his plans for a two-day trip along a rugged trail.
