Tracey, complete with lighlights and curls.....

Here is the finished portrait of my daughter, Tracey, who left an hour or so ago on her cycling trip down the coast of California. She is very excited to be going on this adventure, which will take her by the ocean, past Monterey, where we used to live, Big Sur, and Hearst Castle..... She will stay in campgrounds, and travel anywhere between 30 and 55 miles a day.....

She is taking with her a minimum of things, including a sleeping bag, and tools to fix her bike, if there is a problem of some kind, a change or two of clothing, and a little food. There are plently of places along the way to stop for a sandwich, etc. She is very perceptive, and always mindful of her surrounding She is very careful about planning things out, and preparing for any mishaps that might occur. Even though it would scare me to take this trip, it's WHAT she LOVES to do, Living life to the fullest, and not compromising what she wants to experience.... So, I'm sure she will have a great ADVENTURE.... and we send our love !
