                   ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: W.Ketzeback
 Moderate to lousy seeing conditions tonight. We were finally forced to close
 just before 2330 due to wind gusts approaching 40 mph. The humidity creeped
 up above closure shortly after. Wind and humidity never dropped to safe
 levels for the remainder of the night.
