Wordless Wednesday: Our Hike Through the Wind Cave Trail

February 25, 2015 By Amanda Yantos 42 Comments

Yesterday, Wynston and I went hiking at Usery Mountain Regional Park with my friend Katie and her dogs Chipper and Quinci.  It was a brisk morning, especially as we got higher up in the mountain and the wind picked up – hence the name Wind Cave Trail I suppose!  It was a 3.2 mile hike round trip through narrow paths and massive boulders.  It’s definitely not a path for humans or dogs who may struggle with basic physical fitness.  Wynston absolutely loved it.  He jumped from boulder to boulder like it was no big deal. Enjoy the photos!

This weekend was amazing.  I had the chance to be a part of the Purina Incredible Dog Challenge, one of the biggest, most fun dog competitions in the country.  And I got to be behind the scenes 🙂

Pro Plan invited us to be VIP guests at the event, which took place in Huntington Beach, CA.  It was a perfect day – 72 degrees and sunny.  I really had no idea what to expect because the map seemed to show the event being held right on the beach…and it was!  If you walked 10 feet behind the bleachers, you were standing in the sand.

When we arrived, we parked right next to the event, which was great because we didn’t have to walk far.  I gathered all my stuff, put Wynston in the stroller, and we were off to see the wizard.  Well, not the wizard, but our first mission was to find the VIP tent.  Once we found it, Cory from Pro Plan greeted me and introduced me to some other Pro Plan staff.  At that moment, I felt so incredible.  It was such a tremendous opportunity to meet the friendly, smiling faces behind Pro Plan.
