Ah well! Congrats to the winner.
Has there ever been a contest this close before?

CalOldBlue's pick was June 4th at Noon
Exodus was June 5th at 8:00 am (Winning time)
Billy Bob -- I can't find his original prognosticator post.. (a little help...)
So no, I think this is the closest we've come...

Well done Exodus, you certainly nailed it on the head ! Enjoy your tank of "liquid gold" ;-)
Thanks to everyone for your input and taking part, keep an eye out for the next Prognosticator to decide when it will close for the season.
Apologies to all for leaving you "hanging," but I had no computer access while on the road.
Dave.
Billy Bob might of been one that did not identify his date in a post [glc noted we had more votes than posts on page 1 of the thread] and therefor would not qualify.
When Phil grabbed the prize in the 2009 opening, he guessed May 19th [taken as 12 noon] and member "Kinless" chose May 20th at Noon. It actually opened on the 19th at 4pm, which by my reckoning makes both 2009 and 2010 runners up just 20 hours out, incredible !So no, I think this is the closest we've come...
Woo hoo! Thanks everyone for the kudos. I'll be sure to take a snap shot for you when I'm on the road up there!
Exodus, Since I don't know your identity -- it will be tough to send you your prize...
Mark
Send you a PM, Mark. :)
Just got back from my vacation, a picture will be forthcoming. :) We drove right over the Tioga Pass and it was BEAUTIFUL!
Brian,
I'm sorry I couldn't get you the fuel cards to you before you left... But they are on their way...
Mark
If any members fancy their chances you can find the winter closing prognosticator [10] here.
Good luck !
