Bear rescued from Sierra bridge



Associated Press
Truckee, Calif. - A 250pound bear stranded under a bridge near Lake Tahoe was saved by an army of rescuers, a tranquilizer dart and a nylon net bought at an Army surplus store.
Claw marks on the con• crete railing of the Rainbow Bridge show where the bruin's ordeal began, said Dave Baker of the Truckee BEAR League, who was the fIrst to arrive on the scene Sept. 15.
It was walking across the span on Highway 40 near
Donner Summit in the Sierra Nevada when oncoming cars spooked it, causing it to jump over the railing. It caught a ledge and pulled itself onto a concrete girder beneath the bridge.
Volunteers strung a. net under the bridge, and an an• imalcontrol ofl1cer shot the bear with tranquilizer.
After the bear lost con-• sciousness, volunteers used a pole to push it into the net, then lowered the bear to the floor of the ravine as more than 100 spectators cheered.

very cool car54...

i knew it was near tahoe but didnt know the details... lucky bear...

now to the matter at hand...

being from the midwest and in constant search of the deep fried breaded pork tenderloin sandwich with onion... pickles... mustard... ketchup... mayo...

we discovered the hash house in san diego and tommys in san clemente... more on the hash house in previous post... the iowans were there... they got proof... tommys is right off the 5 at the el camino real exit...

it was not an iowa 80 truck stop tenderloin but it was tasty... i would recommend the place to the hungered slabber...

Those creatures ain't bad, if you slather'em up good with mustard, apply a sugar-chile based rub, and smoke for 20 hours, 4 hours of maple/hickory.
