Volvon Strategic Point - a photo on Flickriver

Volvon Strategic Point

            When I reached this vantage point, I began to wonder if the Volvon tribe had actually picked a strategic location for their village with a commanding view of the entire area. From here, Brushy Peak is directly in my line of sight. If someone sets up a smoke signal over there, I can immediately spot it. Not too far from here, I can even see the wind caves at Vasco next to Los Vaqueros Reservoir. I wanted to continue to wander down that trail in front of me but my hiking companions were hungry and wanted to return. I have to come back here another time and walk the Black Hills.
