I am stuck at this question and can't understand what am I doing wrong.

After I set the box-shadow values it tells me that the Task 3 is no longer valid and takes me back to Task 3. Please advise. Thank you very much.

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: 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">
  </head>
  <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">
            <p>All rights reserved to the state of <a href="#">California</a>.</p>
            <a href="#top">Back to top &raquo;</a>
        </footer>
  </body>
</html>

Hi there,

I believe that you need to add a second box shadow to the .main-header. Right now you are deleting and replacing the box shadow from task #3, but they want you to add a second box shadow, which can be done by adding a comma after the first, like this:

box-shasow: first one, second one;
