There will either be a lounge docked at the terminal (the entrance doors will be open) or the doors will be closed and there will be a countdown clock indicating when the next one will depart. In that case, you hang out in the waiting area until a lounge docks.
Wait for the lounge to Concourse C. While C and D are both part of one long concourse, in general, you are not going to save any time catching a D lounge for a C departure gate.
The lounge will drive you from A to C, it's a neat drive as you have to cross the tarmac and will see many planes at the gates and moving on the tarmac.
When arriving UAX at IAD Concourse A just past the Five Guys Burger stand is a small set of escalators. When exiting the escalators turn left. The boarding docks for the Mobile Lounges to C are at this location. To the right are Mobile Lounges to Main Terminal. It is a short ride over to Concourse C and like FlyingHawaiian said it affords great views of the ramp area.
Enjoy while you can, the new AeroTrain opens late 2009!!!!
