Ping.. Update on Friday's visit

Thanks for the update.

Moffet's just down the street from me here at my office - I can look out the window and see the blimp hangars. What I can't sort out is why he wouldn't just take Highway 101 as a straight shot down from Moffet and get off at the Trimble/De La Cruz exit?

Perhaps they're going up Highway 237 since that tends to have less traffic, and then south on 880 to Coleman. But even that doesn't make much sense, since 880 south of 237 is one of the worst highway bottlenecks in the entire state.

Or maybe this is just a security-related misdirection.
