Trail Name:
Yote mazuri

Whitney "Allgood" LaRuffa alikulia vijijini NH ambapo alibuni upendo wake wa nje na shughuli kama vile uvuvi, skiing, na upendo wake wa kweli backpacking. Muda wake uliotumika katika Scouts Boy alimsaidia hone ni ujuzi wa nje kama alifanya kazi yake ya kuwa Eagle Scout na kuchochea shauku yake kwa umbali mrefu kutembea.

Whitney amepanda zaidi ya maili 6,000 na wenzake wa K-9 kwa miaka mingi.  Baada ya kupata mbwa kwenye Njia ya Appalachian mnamo 1996 maisha yake yalibadilishwa milele. Whitney na mbwa wake wa kwanza Erwin (aliyejulikana kwa mji wa njia Erwin, TN) walifanya kazi kwenye Njia ya Appalachian katika miaka ya 1990 kama Ridge Runners baada ya thru-hike yao, ambapo walitoa elimu na msaada kwa watumiaji mbalimbali wa njia.  Whitney amepanda njia nyingi ndefu nchini Marekani lakini anajivunia sana upainia wake wa kwanza wa 20014 wa Chinook Trail, njia ya maili 293 kupitia Mto Columbia Gorge huko WA&OR. Wakati si kusaidia wengine kujifunza kuhusu kupanda, wewe kupata Whitney kutembea njia kuzunguka Marekani katika haja ya kuoga, bia baridi, na pint ya Ben & Jerry.
