              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist:    R.McMillan
Very high winds and a major dust storm kept us closed for most of the
night.  There were also some clouds, but it was hard to tell by eye or IR
cam whether they were water clouds or dust clouds.  During second half
the wind and dust slowly declined, until finally we were able to open for
a couple of hours.  Seeing was poor, made worse by running with limited
ventilation.
