About Me

My photo
Pat
For the past twelve years, I have written a monthly travel column for a local northwest newspaper. In doing so, I have traveled over 50,000 miles in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and British Columbia and taken far too many photos. Please join me in my travels throughout the Upper Left Hand Corner of the United States. We'll visit wineries, small towns, major attractions, museums, retaurants, gardens, historic sites, take a few hikes, and explore backroads and byways. All text and photos are copywrited; reproduction in any form requires written consent.
