View attachment 484355This bridge is on the Old Donner Pass Highway .
It has a spectacular view of Donner Lake and Donner Pass on
Route 80.
A bear was walking across Rainbow Bridge ( Old Hwy 40) at Donner
Summit ,
Truckee ) on Saturday when two cars also crossing the bridge scared
the bear
into jumping over the edge of the bridge. Somehow the bear caught
the ledge
see unbelievable photo, above) and pulled itself to safety.
Authorities decided
that nothing could be done to help Saturday night so they returned
Sunday
morning to find the bear sound asleep on the ledge.
After securing a net under the bridge the bear was tranquilized,
fell into the net, lowered, then woke up and walked out of the net.
There is a moral to this story.
This old bear made a wrong move and found he was hanging by his
nails.
Somehow he was able to pull himself up onto the ledge where he saw
he was in a very bad, impossible
situation and what did he do?
Yep, he took a nap and sure enough the situation took care of itself
while he was asleep.
The moral is that when confronted with a bad situation sometimes the
best solution is . . .
take a nap.
