Hey dog lovers and furry friends!
I’m Shannon and my furry companion is named Cappie Bear. We’re so thrilled to have you explore our website. We’re excited to share with you lots of adventures you can have with your own furry companion whether it’s hiking, camping, backpacking, standup paddleboarding and the list goes on! But you don’t even need a pup to enjoy this site! It’s great information for hoomans too. Cappie and I have done every adventure we’ve added to our list so we can give you the best insight on it. We’ve also shared some of our friends adventures too! Do you have questions about a particular adventure, contact us! We love hearing from you and like to share our experiences. All of our information comes from personal experience and online research.
I’m originally from New Jersey and moved to San Diego in May 2011. I’m also a vegan who loves to run and bake doggie treats for my pup Cappie. If I’m not in running shoes or hiking boots, I live in flip flops. I’ve taken the Wilderness Basics Course (WBC) with the Sierra Club as well as Backcountry Skills, Backcountry Cooking, and Backcountry Map & Compass classes. I’m also a Search & Rescue Volunteer on the K9 unit with the San Diego Sheriff Department as well as First Aid, CPR and AED certified.
My pup Cappie loves to run and hike too so he’ll be sharing some of his pawspective on the posts! He’s a Vizsla (a.k.a. red dog or velcro dog) and was born on March 14, 2017. Whew, he sure does have a ton of energy so we’re always on an adventure somewhere. His favorite treats are peanut butter, blueberries, celery and sticks! He’s also friendly with other dogs and hoomans so if you spot us on the trail, say hello!
