              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
The night started out like a sad Martian day.  Dry, windy, and dusty.  We were not able to open until 23:15 when the dust dropped down to 5K counts. While wind remained high, we were able to stay open the rest of the night with good seeing.  Clouds starting rolling in around 1:00am and cleared near twilight.
