Fifteen Minutes Till Sundown!๐
Silvertop got started hiking way too late today!๐ฒ
If you are out hiking in the Mountains, and the Sun is setting. I have an easy way to calculate how much time you have left before sundown!๐
You simply hold up your fingers horizontally to the horizon. Each fingers height between the bottom of the setting Sun, and the horizon represents approximately 15 minutes before sundown.
One finger between the horizon and the Sun โฆโฆโฆ..15 minutes
Two fingers approximately 30 minutes, and so on!๐
Silvertop was out pick axing the trench across the driveway for the electrical conduit todayโฆโฆโฆ.
Did I say pick axingโฆโฆ๐
Solid packed rock my friends, donโt try this at home Lol!๐คฃ
I was only able to pick a trench halfway across the driveway, I was running out of daylight!๐
I was missing a few conduit couplings anyway, so I called it for today.
I still had time to get in a hike!๐
Phoenix was being a lazy girl, she was snuggled in her warm blanket, so I decided it was just Silvertop for today!
When I reached the ridge top I saw this beautiful orange sunset that you see in the first photo!๐
โ It looks like I started too late today!โ๐ฒ
I held up several fingers to check how much time I had before sundownโฆโฆ
One fingerโฆโฆโฆโฆ..
Hmmmโฆโฆโฆโฆโฆ
I was on top of the ridge, at least โthirtyโ minutes out!๐ฎ
Time to head back, Silvertop didnโt bring a flashlight!๐
Lesson learned my friends, always pack a flashlight!๐
I hope my son hiking in the hills in Hungary has a flashlight Lol, check out the last two photos!๐ฅฐ

I'll try doing that. I usually depend on the time on my phone. Hehe
I hope you're having a wonderful day my friend, not sure of the time zone .....I'm looking for your post tonight!!!๐
Thanks. Unable to look our for post earlier. I'm not at home. Hehe
Yes I understand, and then we have the time difference, sometimes I am asleep when you post lol!!!
I found your post today!๐
Yeah. I actually receive your comments from late morning to noon. That's the time before you are going to sleep. Right?
That's correct my friend, like this reply it's almost 9 o'clock at night!๐
Yeah. And I am responding now, it's almost 8am. It's probably evening there, and you'll be having dinner in an hour or two. Hehe
Interesting! Does the one and two finger method work even if you are not in the mountains?
Yes it will work anyplace you can see the horizon @silversaver888 !๐
I was skeptical, but I gave it a try and it actually works!๐ค
You know.........cougars hunt at twilight! Do you feel like you are being watched? ๐๐๐
The days continue to get shorter, but soon.......๐ค๐๐
