The Bear on the Bridge

This bridge is on the Old Donner Pass Highway. It has a spectacular view
of Donner Lake and Donner Pass on Route 80.

This 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 Lord took
care of the situation while he was asleep. The moral of the story is that
when confronted with a bad situation, sometimes the best solution is to
take a nap and let the Lord take care of the rest.


Please pray for Grace.
She cut the top of her head open in a back
yard trampoline accident on Sunday. She
was having a great time until that happen.
The rest of the day? Not so much. It was off
to the emergency room with Mommy, Daddy,
Matthew & Grandma Betty to comfort her.
Grace had to have her cut stapled together
again.
Ouch!
What a brave little woman.
You go Grace.
We love you and we are so proud of you.
We recomment NO head stands for the rest of
the week! Splits are OK.
