Call the Mojave Phonebooth: 1-760-733-9969 I can't believe that SI didn't have a thread for the Mojave Phonebooth. Well it does now !  Infomation can be found at: cardhouse.com  The basic facts are stated on the front page:  Recently, I spotted a small dot with the word "telephone" beside it on a map of the Mojave desert, 15 miles from the main interstate in the middle of nowhere.   Intrigued, I donned a cheap, brown serape and a pair of wing-tips and headed out to find it in my old jeep. After many hours I do find it (the glass is shot out and the phone book is missing) but it works!  Apparently, this booth was put in after WWII for the use of a nearby mine which ceased operations in the 60s; why the local phone company keeps it operational is anybody's guess.   A nearby rancher told me that in the 70s they replaced the old rotary style phone with push buttons because the sheep were having trouble dialing.  I have been calling the number 1-760-733-9969 for two days. It is always busy. My guess is the phone is off the hook.  I'm going to keep trying.</description><image><url>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/images/Logo380x132.png</url><title>SI - Call the Mojave Phonebooth</title><link>https://www.siliconinvestor.com/subject.aspx?subjectid=30875</link><width>380</width><height>132</height></image><ttl>10</ttl></channel></rss>
