   From the descriptions in several posts, I'd say yes, it's cheating.  If there's a designated pick-up point, then trolling for slugs would appear to be a no-no.

	I agree with you ronin...but if I see a slugger carrying a sign for a Horner or Potomac, and their getting soaked in bad weather , I'll pick them up to get them out of the rain.

I can see your point, but it seems like a common practice and the slugs are actually holding up their signs as they're walking along... I start off at 23rd-as many of the slugs do. The walk from 23rd all the way to the pick up point isn't a short one-but can they take a bus? I'll have to rethink this one... Live Long and Prosper

Live Long and Prosper Well, you can take the ART bus, I think, but why would you want to pay for it? That's the whole point of slugging, right? To not have to pay for it...LOL. And the Anteon shuttle will only stop at the corner for select people. I wasn't one of them, so I'm bitter. Pa-Tooey!

	I don't feel like Cheating is defined the same in Crystal City as it is at Horner Road. The sluggers created the hold-sign method, and eventually a pick up spot was established for us. But, the stretch of CC is so long, that it has always worked both ways, to pick up walkers as well as go to the pick up point. So, I don't think the cheating applies here.[?]

	This is probably the biggest thing I will NOT miss in the slightest (my other thread will explain). To not have to see this crap everyday will be a joy. _________________ "The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."
