Wish1719 1st Gear June 30, 2008 Share June 30, 2008 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 God took care of the situation while he was asleep. The moral is that when confronted with a bad situation sometimes the best solution is to take a nap and let God take care of the rest. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apollo 1st Gear June 30, 2008 Share June 30, 2008 just how powerful? http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,23944408-2,00.html Teenage cyclist critical after bear attack By staff writers June 30, 2008 11:11am 14-YEAR-old girl who was attacked by a grizzly bear while competing in a bike race managed to whisper the word "bear" to her rescuer. The girl was taking part in a 24-hour race through Bicentennial Park in Anchorage, Alaska, yesterday when she was attacked by the mother bear in the middle of the night in a heavily wooded area, the Associated Press reported. The park borders Chugach State Park where wild animals live and the race, involving 60 riders, followed a circular route on trails used by hikers, bikers and skiers. Anchorage Fire Department spokeswoman Cleo Hill said the girl suffered severe head, neck, torso and leg wounds and was in a critical condition in hospital. Alaska Department of Fish and Game wildlife biologist Rick Sinnott told the Anchorage Daily News that the bear could have been a mother that charged two runners on a nearby trail two weeks ago. Mr Sinnott said the girl was lucky she was wearing a bike helmet because the bear had bitten her head. The animal attacked the girl about 1.30am (8.30am AEST), during the darkest part of the night. The girl called emergency services but she was unable to communicate, Mr Sinnott said. Another rider found her sitting dazed on the ground. Peter Basinger told the Anchorage Daily News she mumbled the word "bear" when he stopped to help. Mr Basinger waited with the girl for about 20 minutes until medics arrived. The girl's helmet had been ripped off in the attack and flung into the woods, he said. Ms Hill said the decision to stop and wait with the girl took courage, knowing a bear had attacked and could again. "It had to be extremely unnerving, if not terrifying," she said. Armed police trekked 3km with medics to retrieve the girl. Mr Sinnott questioned the wisdom of bicyclists riding all night through bear territory. "A midnight race along a salmon stream is probably a pretty bad idea when the salmon are there," he said. ---------- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
