(...) Easy: Bernal has a ramp to Northbound 101. Just take that, drive several miles to its junction with 880 (warning: you will pass 280 and 680 along the way to 880, so check the signs carefully), and follow Tom's directions from there.

Once you're northbound on the freeway, you'll travel for about 15 minutes or so, past Milpitas and into Fremont. Take the (...) (24 years ago, 5-Dec-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.org.us.baylug)
