Thanks for putting me right Jessica, very decent of you ! I must of got a little over excited ! lol. I had it in my head that it was at 4pm after checking various places for confirmation of closure, and should have double checked.

Although I am not seeing any new announcement on the Park News pages, this post/announcement seems to confirm what you thought.

According to Yosemite NP the road was to be closed at 7pm on the 17th.

We will have to wait and see if this becomes final and then wait the announcement of the official closing date. As it stands right now we are looking at our possibly, first ever 'Back to back' winner, CAnative having predicted January 17th at 3pm.

Announcement.

To confirm. The official closing date and time are January 17th @ 7pm.

Dave.

Bonus points ought to be awarded to the awardee of the TPP for pointing this out... and with this final declaration, this thread is hereby closed. And the TPP #13 is officially "on".

I wonder if Jessica can pull off a three-peat!

I didn't get to Yosemite or Lee Vining last summer for a photo. I do owe you a photo and have one from last week at an appropriate location. The Mobil station at I 40 and US 93 was one of the nicest ones. I was struck by the cleanliness of the restroom and then an attendant came in to clean. In addition to the usual sundries, coffee, and ice cream this store had a large bin of red apples, green apples, oranges and small bags of grapes.
