My initial bearing was 45* true.
The actual bearing to the Fox was 46* true.

We only heard the Fox sporadically, say every 10 or 20 miles, until we got to Twin Bridges, close to Lake Tahoe. The Doppler pointed towards Lake Tahoe most of the time when I dialed in some receiver attenuation so the Doppler would only see strong signals.

We drove back the same day and arrived in Fremont at 12 midnight.
