When will the Slide open again?
It’s the subject of speculation and rumor. We’ve heard plenty guesses and we’re sure you have, too. Here’s your chance to go on the record, participate in an experiment, and maybe win yourself a nice dinner.
Give us your best guess as to when you think the Devil’s Slide will open. When the Slide opens, the closest estimate will win a $100 gift certificate from the Half Moon Bay Brewing Company in Princeton, the sometime home of Devil’s Slide Ale. If we have more than one correct guess, we’ll pick the winner randomly from among the prescient few who got it right.
To enter, click on the graphic. Give us your best guess and information on how to contact you if you win. There are a few questions about how you’ve responded to the traffic problems in your own life. You can choose to answer these questions or skip them. One entry per person, please. Entries close at 11:59pm on Sunday, April 9.
CLARIFICATIONS: “Open” is defined as reliably usable for the foreseeable future. Interpretation is at the sole discretion of the judges (me). Employees of HMB Brewing Co and Coastsider and their families aren’t eligible.
Too late to enter the contest, but I predict 235 days, using a statistical analysis of the trend line for the previous closures.
