              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
The night started out very windy, but it die right at sunset and we were able to open. However, seeing was poor all night.  We had a couple instances of dust creeping up but it was never bad enough to force closer.  Around 4am the wind really started picking up and reach 40mph but, again, it didn't force us to close.  The clouds where hanging out over the mountain and causing problems for nearly all of B half.
No problems tonight
