The web site uses UT time, which is 7 hours ahead of Mountain standard time. The USNO gives sunset as 7:43 standard time. It may be that there is some confusion between standard and daylight saving time. The 4th contact will be a few minutes after sunset, not and hour and a few minutes. Quoting erikhansen@thebluezone.net:
The day of the eclipse. Sunrise 5:05 AM, Sunset 7:43 PM, 1st contact 6:19 PM, Max eclipse 7:29 PM, 4th contact 8:33 PM. . I plan on bringing my old friend Sam Adams, on ice of course.

Does anyone know what % of the Sun will be covered from up here? Also, what is the draw for an annular eclipse since you can't see the Corona.
Dave, don't you think a nearly central annularity is worth seeing?
It's too far away for me to make plans, but I'd certainly like to see it, if the stars all align in my favor.
I'm planning on bringing my own Corona, on ice.
