                   ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J.Barentine
 Opened to cool again around 16:20.  Things looked promising early in the
night, with few clouds in the sky around sunset.  We observed for nearly
three hours until the clouds became too thick to find our targets through,
and we stopped at 21:00.  No precipitation was indicated on radar in the
area, so we opted to stay open should any holes appear.  The clouds
continued thickening, and we did no further science.

     used is north=0 degrees, east=90 degrees.  The dust count is
     particles > 1u per 0.1 cubic feet.
