Above California Pass & Lake Como
Our driver and guide, Brian Simpson, checking to see if a cell phone signal is available - he needed to tell his wife, Jayna, that he would be late for dinner. Brian teaches engineering at Montrose High School and selectively drives and guides in the San Juans.
Far below is Lake Como, the headwaters of the Uncompahgre River. Lake Como is 1,500 feet deep as measured by sonar bouys placed by Colorado State University researchers. Brian's call didn't go through.
