The bummer error says that I need to make sure that the horizontal offset should be 0 and it is.

on the last task ask me to set the horizontal offset to zero and i did but I still keep getting the error saying that i need to make sure that the horizontal offset of the second box-shadow needs to be 0.

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.main-heading {
    text-shadow: 0 0 5px #be7b31;
}

.title {
    text-shadow: 1px 3px 0 #e59740;
}
.main-header {
    box-shadow: 0 2px 15px #aaa,
                    inset   0 0 60px 5px firebrick;
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">

  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>

        <div class="primary-content">
            <p class="intro">
                Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.
            </p>
            <a class="callout" href="#more">Find out more</a>
        </div><!-- End .primary-content -->

        <footer class="main-footer">

Hey Robert, weirdly enough I think the problem was just your spacing on the inset. 

.main-header {
    box-shadow: 0 2px 15px #aaa,
                    inset 0 0 60px 5px firebrick;
}

Reducing it to just one space between inset and the horizontal offset seemed to pass the challenge.

Hope this helps,

Dylan

no that did not help I tried different spacing to see if that would help it did not.
