10 miles one way roughly SE to the peak.  The first half of the route followed an ORV trail and the latter half entered the Machesna Mountain wilderness iteself.

TL
Pozo road peaked at Pozo Summit and intersected the ORV trail.  There was little in the way of trailhead signage and I initially drove past the trailhead and had to loop back.  Just enough room for one car off to the side (I moved the car over a little to the right so as to not block the trail).  The rock near my right rear tire had the Pozo summit USGS marker.   (The Pozo summit was merely the highpoint of the road, not the highpoint of the nearby trerrain)

The trail climbed steeply to the south, following the spine of the ridgeline and looking directly into the rising sun.  This shot is looking back at Pozo road, my car, and the trailhead.

Lots of fog on the drive in, and the valley to the west remained foggy all morning.  Pazo road leading up to Pazo Summit runs along the bottom of the shot.

The ORV road soon came to this steep rocky section.  There were tire tracks in the dirt.  Pretty impressive that someone would be able to get a verhicle up the thing.

Flat section leading towards the Pine Mountain summit.  In 1996 a 69,500 acre wildfire burned much of this terrain and there were few old growth pines left on the summit.
