                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 Cloudy night. There was no great threat of precip the beginning of the
 night so we opened and got the cloudy night observations requested by
 D.York. We then were able to stay open due a sucker hole until 23:00
 when the clouds became to thick and the humidity slowly climbed above the
 limits. We never reopened.
