>> 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.
