  • The Sul Ross Desk

    The Sul Ross Desk
    Nov 12 2024

    In the 1980s, a group of friends on the track team at Sul Ross State University hauled a discarded dorm room desk to the top of a mountain. They left a notebook there to keep track of their run times and leave little notes for each other. Then… other people found it. And then… it started a tradition.

    Visit the Atlas entry for the Sul Ross desk, and learn more about the archives containing the Sul Ross desk notebooks.

Vocal Fry!

Great content. The narrator’s vocal fry was distracting. Production was top notch in my opinion.
