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. | ||||||||||||
