Advice on slugging back to Potomac

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I FINALLY found the slug line at PM this morning. I saw a few people standing in a line but we were all going to different places. It was funny - they seemed almost as confused as I was. I ended up slugging to 14th and Independence. I was dropped off at the side of the road and I walked about a block to the Smithsonian metro which was fine. But now I'm wondering where the slug pickup is. I could try slugging from the Pentagon, which I usually do but I have always gone back to Horner. There aren't many drivers that go from Pentagon to Potomac. Every time I get into the Horner/Potomac line there are always a bunch of Potomac-bound slugs in FRONT of me but I ALWAYS end up leaving BEFORE even though I got in line after them. So, I'm kind of worried about getting home. Does anyone have any advice about where I could go to get picked up this afternoon so I don't have to spend the night in DC? [;)] Someone mentioned that it was easy to get picked up at 18th. Is that lot as confusing as the Potomac one? Is there a slug pickup near 14th and Independence? Can someone give me clear directions on where the pickup locations are? Thanks!

	See link for return destinations: http://www.slug-lines.com/AM_Lines/Potomac_Mills.asp Make a sign advertising to drivers where you are going. I find that helps attract their attention. I use 14th and NY.
