I headed out this morning towards that general area anyway with the encouragement of other cachers and I found what seemed like could be the object in question quickly, but wasn't sure, so I drove around some more. I've seen some other interesting versions of these in Mountain View somewhere.
While I was driving I found a spot that matched the hint, so I pulled over and started searching. My projection was a bit sloppy, so I mostly found it through brute force. Thanks for the different kind of puzzle.
