                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 When I came in this evening I found the door to the tunnel propped open and
 the door on the observing level to the catwalk open. Lights were on on the
 lower level and intermediate levels of the telescope with no one around. I
 am assuming someone gave a tour(s) today and come back and close up.
 Another night of quickly changing conditions. We opened for much of second
 half. I spend much of first half watching the weather looking at radar and
 satellite images waiting for the clouds to break.
