                  ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J.Barentine
 We remained closed throughout the first half tonight due to clouds and
rain in the region.  It rained lightly on and off until nearly midnight.
 Iskra and Michael called it a night at 23:45.  Ted logged around 00:30 at
which time it was starting to clear, so I opened up.  Things ran smoothly
for him for most of second half, with passing clouds and variable cirrus.
We were able to get Lens observations despite a few clouds at the very
tail end of second half.
 Thus we conclude with our season finale.  Join us again in late August as
the unfolding saga continues.
