Pat Brown takes you on trips near and far







I have traveled with Pat Brown. She's one of my favorite travel companions.



If you'd like to go with Dr. Travelbest's friend on a trip to a nearby place or one far away, here's your chance.



I went to Oregon in June 09 and that blog is here, too. It's quite a wonderful place to visit. These are picture of Southern Oregon, near and on the Rogue River.
