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 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. 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 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 to take a nap...

(Yeah it's a corney chain email, but I thought the pictures and story were pretty cool)

I'm always saying that naps are a lifesaver. :)

How on earth did he even get up there??

RTFM? Or something like that...

It's RTFA in this case. And when you recommend someone do that, I'm supposed to ask you if you're new here.

It's a post, not an article, maybe I would have accepted thread, and for all you know he was refering to the fact I said it was a chain letter and meant "RTFMailing"... and this isn't Fark.

LOL

I was going to comment on the irony of that until I saw that you had a join date of 7/2003. Seems you've been lurking around off and on for a while - especially with only 275 posts.

I thought this was going to be an Imus related thread.

Yea, I meant mailing... hence the qualifier! (shoves his nerd glasses up)
