This cache sits on the outside of the oldest phone booth in the world at the Sal Crest Motel. The property owners have allowed this cache and are excited about showing off the phone booth. The owners put a really nice roof protecting the booth.
DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ON THE PHONE BOOTH ITSELF, THE CACHE IS ON THE OUTSIDE.
