-edit-
it's near sunset:
from the NASA map "click on a point" - at the Southern tip of Pyramid Lake it starts at:
Start of partial eclipse (C1) :    2012/05/21   00:15:10.0 UTC,  031.6° (altitude), 270.9° (azimuth)
End of partial eclipse (C4) :    2012/05/21   02:36:44.1   005.1° (altitude)

00:15:10 Sunday May 21, 2012 in UTC converts to
17:15:10 Saturday May 20, 2012 in US/Pacific
