It started innocently enough...

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...

It turned into so much more.

A mystery. An answer. Strangers connecting - across distance, against probability...

A web phenomenon. A legend. A found happening. And ultimately...

A profound disappointment from the National Park system.

We only felt the impact of the Mojave Phone Booth when we finally heard the news - that the Mojave Phone Booth had been de-activated.

Its magical connection was broken, and the ironic and the curious were cut off again...
