              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
At various times tonight we had high winds, high dust, thick clouds, and nearby rain (but never rain onsite).  All conditions eased for a short while during the evening and we got a little data, but not much before the clouds and radar and wind and dust started to act up again.  We had no chance to re-open before the second half program lost their target.
