   Left Valles at 8:00 AM and drove thru to Monterey arriving at 6:00 PM.  I intended to start skinning but found that division of the baggage had left my equipment in the second car which did not reach Monterey until 9:00 PM  One hawk badly shot had been previously thrown away & I ruined a Couch's Kingbird trying to skin it
