                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 Dust and high winds kept us closed until about 03:30. Seeing was moderate
 to horrific most of the time we were open. Most likey because the
 ventillation fans were configured to fight off elevated dust levels.
