You know the most interesting details - a yellow phone indicates it's a vandalism problem? Huh. Which makes sense since this phone is basically in the middle of the trail where it has less visitation.
My park had to pay to keep the pay phones. We kept them because cell service is iffy up in the canyons. Once I had a devil of a time getting them reinstalled when a well-meaning IT guy had them removed due to low usage (4 times in six months) without telling us.
My only fault is not knowing more about the San Andreas Fault. Thanks to this post, I no longer have that fault.
Great ride. And I'd love to see that Flintstone house. I have seen the Flintstones' Bedrock City campground in Custer, SD though. Freaky!
The yellow handle tells me that this phone has been ripped of its cord at some time. Probably more than once. I'm 99% sure the original receiver was black. I haven't seen a phone kiosk since I was deep into Manitoba five years ago.
3 years agoI would hoist her front wheels up first to the edge of the tailgate, then pick up the rear end and roll her in. No biggie, but the battery and motor really throw off the weight distribution.
I bought this car when (1) I needed a new car and (2) knew I would be buying a trike so found one that Pokey would fit in.
I remember reading about your trike being stolen out of your garage. What incredible nerve. I am still shaking my fist at those creeps.
Glad you enjoyed the journal.
Thanks, Suzanne - me too!
3 years agoThanks, Mike. It was a nice ride.
3 years agoI enjoyed reading all of historical information in your journal. The pictures were also great. Your trike sure looks like fun! I used to own a TerraTrike with fat tires that I would ride in the winter on snow and ice, but it was stolen last year.
3 years agoI enjoyed your ride!
3 years agoSmart idea!

3 years agoAnother interesting report, Kathleen.
3 years agoI wondered about Pokey being loaded.
3 years agoIf your nephew is still working as a carpenter he'd be keeping very busy right now. So much construction and remodeling going on. And yes lots of impressive houses.

It's not your fault, so don't worry about it.
3 years agoOne of my favorite toys as a young kid was the Flintstones village I had. Plastic sheet with roads and houses marked out, plastic rock houses to put on them, and little dolls for all the characters. I think the Rubbles' house lasted into my teen years, still used by the youngest sibs.
