About Me

Wayne Ranney
Flagstaff, Arizona, United States
I am a geologist, a writer, a river guide and international guide and traveler. Everything seems right when I am outdoors watching the earth spin - my cares and worries disappear, my body and mind get exercise, and there is nothing to disturb the ebb and flow of life. Out there is where ideas come to me, where stories flow through me like the rivers that carry me towards home. Now and then, I post ramblings on geology, life in the west and on a living planet, and travels across the globe. Life is good, if only we'd take the time to understand that.
