John, If you are not to concerned with getting the hourline traced across dips and hills on the ground, use a long straightedge (yardstick, meterstick, 8' - 16' extruded strip of aluminum flashing, etc.) to mark the line. You can maintain it on the shadow edge until the top of the hour and then mark the line.
