Cooling Her Heels
Title:  Cooling Her Heels
Description:  4449 takes a short breather. The 10-mile trip from Portland to Sherwood is nothing in comparison to her multitude of cross-country sprints and her daily trips up and down the California coast in the 1940s and 50s.

Sleeping Beauty
Title:  Sleeping Beauty
