  1. The Desk

    In 1981 three Sul Ross State University students in West Texas, Jim Kitchen, Bill Wagner and Travis Miller, looking for a quieter place to study, hauled a metal desk to a spot on Hancock Hill - a tranquil vista looking over the vast wide open expanse of land below

    Kitchen left a notebook + pens in a drawer where other visitors started to journal their feelings + experiences. The Desk remains to this day, although the older weather worn ones have been replaced several times. The notebooks too have been collected + placed in the Bryan Wildenthal Memorial Library at Sul Ross State - a kind of time capsule of thoughts + feelings from visitors to The Desk
