                     -------- ACTIVITY LOG --------
1st half observing specialist: Karen Gloria
	The telescope was opened at 19:00 MDT.  It was closed and reopened a
few times due to fast moving, puffy clouds that were forming right over
the observatory.  The clouds really hampered observing, so I didn't get
any science done the first half of the night.  I observed for Julianne
until we were on-line.  The site computers were reconnected to the
outside world late this evening.  Telnet and ftp are shut off.  Remote
observers should instead use ssh and scp.  **Note there is a new
"visitor1" password.
2nd half observing specialist: Camron Hastings
	We opened again at 01:10 MDT to clearing skies. The winds were high all
night, and at times threatened closure, but we squeeked by until
05:15MDT, when we had to close due to humidity and dew point. The
interface worked fine all night. It appears that the MAC on the
observing level is dead.
