Photos of Bear Rescue or Problem Solving.....

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 avoiding a fall into the rocks below 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 . . .

Photo's of a Rare Deer

  A RARE DEER  

 
This is right off County Hwy O in Portage  County , Wis. , just north of Junction City (Northwest of  Stevens Point ).   This is a piebald fawn.  It was my good  fortune that it was young since I was able to get within 10  yards of it.  It ran a few yards (Photo 6), I walked up again and  took one last broadside photo before it ran into the woods.
