                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: G.Saurage
Extreme dust levels (>26K) going into first half. Dust backed down only when a wet
front pushed through with cloudy skies and increasing radar returns. Sprinkles began
just before 02:00 and continued overcast conditions for the rest of the night. Never
opened.
