The green arrow indicates where you would come off of I-5 (Florin-West exit) and turn left on greenhaven to access the least slanted entrance.
Route to Milpitas: I-5 to 205 to 580 to 680.
We are avoiding I-80 due to the uneven roads.

Fyi
I was just on 680 south today. It's being repaved and there's some serious ledges where the old asphalt drops off into grooved areas.
After you get out of Pleasanton and through Sunol it's really awful. The fast lane seemed to be the best lane but once you're in it, you're stuck because it drops off into grooved rough areas in the other lanes. After Sunol, stay out of the slow lane. I thought I would be smart and hit it at an angle slowly. I scraped and I'm back on stock suspension.
Hopefully this will be better before you guys make the run. Maybe someone who lives in the area could drive it a few days before to check out your route?
