                  ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 1st Half Observing Specialist: C. Hastings
 First half started with clouds with rain/grapple, but luckily the skies
 cleared just as twilight descended upon us. We had two new training
 astronomers from Colorado University. They jumped on SPIcam and we
 started getting data right off. Clouds eventually returned, although
 thin enough to shoot through for a while. Seeing was really decent
 considering the weather.
 Clouds quickly returned around 21:00 and the temps dropped, we closed.
 Snow was close behind....
