              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
gcam needed a restart during checkout
We had some intense thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. Lightning all over the place and lots of rain. The leak by the echelle and ladder were present during fills. While the rain cleared up, we had fog clouds all night and were not able to open.
