Just got this email from my brother...pretty interesting...
Bear on Donnor Pass Bridge
This bridge is on the Old Donner Pass Highway in California. It has
spectacular Sierra Views and views 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 and was able to pull itself to safety under the bridge deck.
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.
the bear on the bridge...
in the net on the way down...
And a safe landing...
