GRAFFITI FROM AROUND THE USA, ADORNED THE MAGICAL / MOJAVE-PHONE-BOX -- |
Above & Below --- TIME marches on at the Mojave phone box, no frogs. The amphibians covered up the bullet holes. Note how different the area above the telephone is with writing and the stuffed mouse.
The old now gone Mojave Phone Booth was celebrated by the people who visited the box, offerings or gifts were left ate the magical place.
As for the Mojave Phone Box being visited by 20 plus people at a time, that only happened near the end of its life, or near the turn of the century.
During the late 1990s is when the word got out about this unique locale in the desert. Myself and a few others --- the phone box was a regional secret or a secret amongst the bikers and jeepster explorers.
Never did I think that people from all over the USA, young and old, would go into the desert and visit this magical place. Once the secret was out, that unique American pioneer spirit took over and the PHONE RUSH WAS ON…
In many ways that is a good sign, as in Americans are still adventurous and will spend their own time and money in finding a place due to its uniqueness. No matter what CNN says, Americans are capitalists not socialists, and they will not depend on BIG BROTHER to build a paved highway to the site, they will take chances and drive through the sand to find - that MAGIC PLACE - MOHAVE PHONE BOX.
The below commercial sums up the adventurers from all over the USA who trekked to the MOJAVE PHONE BOOTH.
Like the photo below or commercial on the right, the Mojave Phone Booth had no seasons, winter or summer it was visited and people called in |
The real things in life have no seasons! |
