                  ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 1st Observing Specialist: Camron Hastings
 A beautiful day, just warm enough to melt the ice on the dome and
 crust over the blowing snow. We opened at 16:30 MST for sky flats.
 No troubles encountered in startup.
 2nd Observing Specialist: Jack Dembicky
 Seeing grew worse after midnight for a hour or so but the skies remained
 clear. At 03:00 the clouds started slowly moving in and by 04:50 it was
 too cloudy to get anymore useful science for the night.
