Just a reminder that the shadow from West Mitten Butte will fall directly upon East Mitten Butte just before sunset on March 30, which falls on a Sunday this year.
This image was taken last year on that date. Aside from a few pleasantly surprised Japanese and British tourists, I was the only photographer there on that day.

That's a killer shot, John. I was just thinking about your prior reminder (I think it was you) as I was driving by last week.

Hmmm, it just so happens I planned on being in S. Utah that weekend -- I may have to make the drive down for that. Thanks for the inside info!

John,
Whats the other date later in the year? September/October?
Thanks!

Thanks for the reminder John. I do think I'm gonna try to make it this time. If you plan to go and want to car pool, shoot me an email.

Jody,
The other date is September 13.

Email shot, Guy.

Hey, John...
Thanks for the reminder. If I didn't have to be back at work on the 31st, I'd make the trip. BUT, my schedule looks better for the September occurrence. I'll put a reminder on my calendar.

Dang, I might have to make a run up there again :-) If I do, I hope I see y'all up there
