              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
Most of the night was clear and beautiful, but with terribe seeing.  Around 3:30 the wind and dust spiked, while humidity rose above 50%--I closed.  Eventually, high humidity joined the (very) high dust, and we called it quits just before 5am.
Otherwise, no problems to report.
