Description
No.26 in the Blue Mountains phone series.
There are many songs dedicated to to the telephone. This series of caches is dedicated the the phone booth. There are not many left these days...come find the cache and make a call to someone significant...and maybe the booths will live on? PJM inspired this series with his cache a little to the south. Something about superman, I think? It would be nice to think that a phone booth could house anything larger than I micro, but...this is about phone booths, not the size of cache containers.

Logs
Tried to cancel/postpone our 4 day trip to the mountains, but alas no refund was possible. Decided to go anyway despite the fires and keep adding to the local economy. Knowing all national parks are closed my options were quite limited, but trying to have fun with what is available. This one was a quick and easy find

I had just done the phone cache at Echo Point and decided it was getting too dark to look for anything else. Heading back to the SES shed I spotted a phone box... hmmm... I decided to check my app and yes there should be one here. Pulled up right next to it. Road was quiet... perfect. In to look and found it easily. Signed log and returned as found. TFTC
#GA2395 - 12:50; Day four of the summer sojourn in the Blue Mountains with the geohoney and a much quieter day was in order for today while the geohoney recuperated from an ailment which hit yesterday. After breakfast in Leura, the geohoney decided to check out the local retailm offerings, so I set off to check out some of the local cache offerings. Arrived at GZ, where a smoking muggle was waiting for his order. I used the time to cool down with an icypole while I waited and after he collected his order and headed off, I soon had the cache in hand and the log signed. TFTC alnic39

I was caching at a phone
i was searching all alone
i try to be stealthy but it's not an easy thing to do
it's getting on almost night
no one's around. that's all right
i go for it searching high and low and find you
there's no log book inside you
remembered to being my pen too, oh oh
(i put a new sheet of paper in it
)

cach - ing, with a phone hung on the wall

i cache all alone quite happily
not all understand the drive in me
to go cach - ing, it could be fun for all
going cach - ing, it could be fun for all.
