Yes, near there... If you go the the Sunnyvale Smart Station (dump) on 
Caribbean Dr., turn into the dump (Borregas Ave.), turn left on Carl rather 
than actually going right, to the smart station, go by the brown trout farm 
(sewer treatment plant) and go out to the levees, which go out into the 
sloughs. It's basically on the eastern edge of Moffett,  1/2 mile north of 
Lockheed and Yahoo.
