Hash Tag

Sweat 2011

Alexa Schirtzinger
It’s best if this story begins with an explanation. “Hashing,” the verb that describes the favored pursuit of the World Hash House Harriers, generally involves a three-mile run, lots of cheap beer, copious raunchy jokes and, ultimately, camaraderie—though not necessarily in that order.

City Cowboy

A Brooklyn transplant trades the office for the outdoors

Rani Molla
Jeff Kennedy is a bit of a novelty. He’s the manager of The Bishop’s Lodge Ranch, Resort & Spa stables, and he’s in charge of wrangling horses and guiding guests through the more than 400 acres of Bishop’s Lodge trails adjacent the Santa Fe National Forest. Oh, and his name tag also reads Brooklyn, New York, where he was born and raised.

ReFlexology

Forget Bruce Wayne—Felix Cordova is the real Batman

Tracy Dingmann
ReFlex "shows up in costume when it’s not dress-up night, as Batman…or whoever he feels like." It’s like he’s a comic vigilante and fun is his justice.

Desk with a View

Corralling the chorus at the Santa Fe Opera comes with a prime perch

Ramon A Lovato
From Susanne Sheston’s “office” at the Santa Fe Opera, one can see the pastel foothills around Tesuque and bask in the afternoon sunlight. As we talk, members of the opera’s Young Voices program interrupt us with iterations of “do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si, do,” and spontaneously burst into song.

King Conkle

A park ranger explains why you wish you had his job

Tim Kraemer
Hyde Memorial State Park manager Stefan Conkle didn’t find the vocation of forest ranger so much as it found him—or, more accurately, rescued him.

Degrees of Summer

We go full circle with Circumference 360

Rani Molla
The 180s that rap has made over its relatively short history—from lo-fi to big time and then from “thoughtful” rap to a present in which complaining about rap’s stereotyped platitudes is verboten—have not fazed Circumference 360, aka Mark J Ortiz.

Skewed Perspectives

A residency in Santa Fe provides the space to distill the world’s angst

Ramon A Lovato
New York-based Santa Fe Art Institute artist-in-residence Judith Hoffman has always made art, although not always in the way she does now. She started off as a geek—specifically, a numbers geek.

Some Like it Hot

Wildland firefighters don’t expect much downtime in a hot, dry summer

Gwyneth Doland
When fire tears through wilderness and the borders between populated areas and vast forests and mountains, specially trained wildland firefighters are the ones who answer the call.
