   Are Rosslyn and the Pentagon the only destinations from the Sydenstricker lot in the morning? Does anyone go downtown? How active is that slug line?

	It's a very active slug line between 5:45 and 7 AM. In the past there were Navy Yard drivers sometimes (but very few.) Since you're sluggin' from Springfield/Burke, it would be better for you to use either the Rolling Valley or "Bob's" slug lines for dependable rides to downtown locations -- or you can use the Sydenstricker line to Pentagon/Rosslyn and then use Metrorail downtown from there. Good luck. [:)]

	Thanks! I'd be a driver, though, not a slugger. I drive to Capitol Hill. I used to pick up at the lot on Old Keene Mill (Rolling Valley?), but live closer to 7100 now. Dropping off at the Pentagon is not a big deal, but I've never actually picked up from there. Does anyone from L'Enfant go to Sydenstricker in the afternoon?

	There are a number of fellow DC Slugs who slug from Sydenstricker in the morning. My reference point is the 0600 to 0615 time. Some will wait for a car going to DC but most will opt for the first car going to the Pentagon or Rosslyn.
