              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
We started the night with clouds and smoke from several states away, which sent the small-particle counts off the charts but didn't seem to affect the larger particle counts.  Then there was some high humidity, and then some rain which brought the particle counts down again but did not improve the humidity.
