For all who have been to this area before at this time of year, when does the sun set during MOTD? 5pm? 6pm? Earlier?

Plotting out my days and nights....

 

Here it sets at ~8pm, so it should be about the same there, maybe closer to 8:30pm by then

 

The movie is starting at 8:30p
Last nite dusk fell at 8p and by 8:30 it was DARK

 

Thanks guys, that helps.

 

Remember, we are in the mountains...so it may seem to get dark a tad earlier...probably around 8-ish.

Wow. Talk about the proper answer to the question.

 

yep, i was just about to chime in with the same info

Paladin7.......nice batch of info, on your answer

 

I'd say that depends on which side of the mountain you are on.

 

Here's a website where you can look up this infor for anywhere in US

That was my source. I double-checked it with my astrolab and abaccus . There is lots more cool data there too!

 

do you turn into a beer can at the moment of sunset? if so, can i watch?

 

Hoo! Talk about gettin' *drunk*! ;-)

 

Yeah, we're on the Eastern side, so we'll lose sight of the sun quite a bit earlier...
