Parking for Solar Decathalon
Hi, this is Scott, the Solstice guy and I plan on going to the Decathalon either Sat. or Sun. I drive to D.C every week from Baltimore, parking around the Capitol is few if any spot available, west of the capitol is Union Station, that's $18 for all day. If you don't want to get caught in the down town D.C. traffic, you can park at the Green Belt MARC station outside of D.C off the 95/495 North split, that is also 16 to $18 dailey. A block or two outside the Capitola area, there are allot of independant garages like Central Parking Systems, they are $16 a day, I'm pretty sure.
I use Mapquest, bring a road atlas to get to D.C., its vey easy to get lost in the city. New York Ave. is what most commuters take to get into the city, its slow with non sequenced lights, photo intersections and photo speed zones.
I'll have to check and see what day, Ill try to get my cousin to join, she would like that. Not only am I interested in mpg, but I also plan on putting solar on the house and geotherm in the yard for heating and cooling. My Fiance is just like me when it comes to Green stuff and she's pumped about going too.
