Two hikers, lost in the Southern California wilderness in 2006, owe their lives to the small supplies of another man who vanished on the same slopes a year earlier.
That year, Brandon Day and Gina Allen, a Dallas couple, became stranded in the rugged Jacinto Mountains, surviving three freezing nights after discovering supplies, including a box of matches, in an abandoned campsite that had belonged to a missing hiker named John Donovan.
