                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 1st Half Observing Specialists: J.Barentine
 Clouds and rain in the region near sunset prevented us from opening.  The
rain sensor tripped around 20:00.  Toward midnight the clouds started to
thin, but by that time the humidity was way up.
 2nd Half Observing Specialists: W.Ketzeback
Humidity exceeded the closure limit for the remainder of the night.
