The trip came just days after Patrick had a big meeting at his Los Angeles ranch with several executives from his A&E series The Beast. RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
Patrick is battling pancreatic cancer and recent photos show that he has lost a substantial amount of weight and looks gaunt. But he's determined to keep fighting - and working, and is hoping to film a second season of his TV show.
Patrick has a special place in his heart for the rugged mountains and canyons of his ranch in New Mexico and the cowboy life he leads there.
The actor and his wife own a magnificent 17,000-acre working horse and livestock ranch in the Santa Fe mountains just east of Las Vegas, N.M.
