I've slugged both around 7 and 8 and there's always slugs to be picked up. The Crystal City line at Potomac seems to be more desperate for drivers than slugs. I'd suggest leaving a bit early and trying it out for yourself. Also don't be intimidated by the amount of cars waiting, they're 90% Rosslyn drivers (which some also accomodate CC if needed).

Hmmm, that's earlier than I'm usually there. But, it's not very often I have to wait long for riders to show up; especially with the amount of Rosslyn drivers that are usually there.

Can anyone tell me if there is a decent amount of slugs at the Potomac Mills lot going to Crystal City around 6:15?
Potomac Mills would really be the most convenint place for me to pick-up slugs, but am concerned at how many there may be due to the conversation in this thread. [|)] |

It would really help a lot if more drivers were committed to pickup AND dropoff at Potomac Mills. As opposed to picking up PM in the morning and only wanting to dropoff at Horner at night. I always to try to pickup up for PM first at night and then take Horner if no one is available for PM. But, that's me...

I'll be standing the Potomac line tonight myself. Last night it was a breeze, smooth sailing to get to Potomac. So much easier than trying to get out of Horner and the craziness that goes with it.[:D]

RIDERS: Yesterday I slugged from PM in the morning and back in the afternoon. There was about a 5 min wait for a ride in the morning (around 8 a.m.).
BUT, the real advantage came in the afternoon, when I made a PM sign advertising my interest in being dropped off at PM, with another PM slug standing next to me, we made a PM line right next to the Horner Rd. line at NY Ave (at 5 p.m.). While about 20 Horner riders waited for rides, as PM riders, we had a ride within 2 minutes. We were at the lot by 5:45, home by 6 p.m. What a treat it was not to have to wait ten minutes in line for a Horner ride with another ten minute wait to walk to my car and get out of the lot!! We need more morning drivers around 8 p.m. |

I know personally I'm making the effort to go to Potomac Mills even though I know I can find a spot and it's easier for me to get home at Horner. And as for going home from CC, I have had no problems getting a ride. I do have to tell myself often not to get angry at the drivers who are lined up waiting for Horner slugs when they can just pick us up to Potomac. But I have found that if there are 2 slugs waiting for Potomac but no one for Horner after a few minutes driver will reluctantly take us. I am always happy to ride with someone who has Potomac as first choice however.
