Geocache Description:


I hid a cache called "Phone-y" in NW Denver (GCB1V88) on an old, defunct payphone base.  Get it?  It was "phony" because you couldn't make a call. Feel free to laugh or not laugh at my pitiful puns. I then started down a rabbit hole of finding more payphones in the Denver area. The other geocyclist gets credit for finding this one though! I am publishing this one as part of Geocaching HQ's "Blast From the Past" Theme. Unfortunately, there is no dial tone here. But it's still a neat artifact and truly is a blast from the past.
