Try Potomac Mills if Horner Rd is full

Ummmmmm, where?

A major consideration to all those individuals who park illegally at the Horner Road lot: What would happen if an emergency vehicle needed to access the lot but couldn't do so because you have parked illegally. I have been informed by the County Police that the emergency vehicles will get in NO MATTER WHAT and the owners of those illegally parked cars may not be happy with the condition of their vehicle upon their return. Granted it is very seldom that these vehicles need to access the lot, but the first time that it happens . . .

The lot at Hechingers is pretty empty now as well. I think the I-95 traffic constantly backing up south of Dale City in the morning is causing more slug riders to divert to Horner Road.

Instead of a car-line, there's an actual slug-line, and we get picked up quickly. Even though it is a bit farther than Horner to my house, I still save 5+ minutes driving time since there's no traffic.

Use Potomac Mills and skip the mess at Horner. There's no traffic and just as easy to use.

I would use PM if it weren't for the problem of getting a ride home. Going back to Woodbridge from Crystal City, there are plenty of Horner Road cars but very few Potomac Mills cars...

Live Long and Prosper

Koakui, I think you are making a major and positive contribution to re-newing slugging at PM. A few years ago, that was a major spot for slugs. I don't know what happened.

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.
