              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
gcam needed a restart during checkout.
We had high winds and dust at the beginning of the night. As things progressed the dust just got worse. I thought there was hope around 4am but, nope, dust went right back up. We were not able to open tonight.
