    Monday, September 25.   Very good to excellent data today but running on overtime and had to shut down in the afternoon for the end of the experiment.

    This morning is the last operation of REAL at M2HATS.   Crews are on-site to disassemble and pack all equipment this week.

    Bruce departed at 9:30 AM.  Headed for Montana.
