              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Shugart
Clouds began rolling in at midnight, but they were too thick to deal with
after switching from Echelle to Triplespec at 03:15. We closed at 03:30,
unable to push through the clouds. I did fills then, and waited for the
clouds  to pass. We were never able to open again, between the clouds and
high ground humidity. Gave up at 05:30.
