              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
We had actual glorious rain at the beginning of the night, and some nearby locations got hail!
I mean, sadly the weather did not permit opening at sunset.
But however you feel about rain, the clouds departed not too long after the rain did, and the ground sucked all the water down, so we were able to open.  Seeing was pretty decent despite an east wind, and the remainder of the night was very productive.
