The Reporter's Notebook, Ep. 26: Latinos in the Outdoors
Gabe Vasquez has spent most of his adulthood chasing the outdoor life his grandfather partly abandoned in search of economic prosperity. (Gaby Velasquez / El Paso Times)
In this week’s episode, we’re talking about Latinos in the outdoors. This series, written by Mónica Ortiz Uribe at the El Paso Times, profiles several champions of the cause — and also features some ways southern New Mexico and El Paso residents can get out and enjoy our public spaces.
We’ll talk about how this series of stories came about, and then dive deeper into the individual stories of those profiled — like Nicole Roque, Eddie Misquez, Jerome Ford and Gabe Vasquez.
We’ll also talk about easily-accessible places that you can explore — pretty much “on the cheap” — if you’re in El Paso or southern New Mexico.
We’re joined by Mónica Ortiz Uribe, who talks about her reporting on this series.
