This 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 acrossRainbowBridge( Old Hwy40 at DonnerSummit,
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 theledge

(see unbelievable photo, above) andpulleditself to safety. Authorities decided
that nothingcould 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, fellinto the net, lowered, then woke up and walked out of the net.

There is a moral to this story you know.
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.
