              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
First half we had clouds, high wind, an unseasonable dust storm, and
finally a few flakes of snow!  Second half the clouds and snow went away,
the wind moderated, and we were able to open.  Seeing was not very good,
to no one's surprise.
