 I read a bearing of 9* from the start point using a four-element 'Arrow-Antenna' Yagi. The signal was very weak and variable. I presume the variable part was from aircraft above the Fox, reflecting the signal down to us.

I tried to take a second bearing from the Ohlone College parking lot but, got two bearings. One towards the Fox and the other 180* away from the Fox. At this point I just followed my Doppler which sort of indicated I should just drive north on Mission Blvd. and keep an eye out East.

 Now heading East on HWY-680, I made a premature exit onto Vargas Rd. which only after a short distance I realized I should have gone one more exit to Sheridan Rd. I had to get back onto HWY-680 West, make my U-Turn on Mission Blvd. and head once again East on 680 to Sheridan Rd.
