A Child’s First Phone Booth

This solitary-looking phone booth is in the middle of a field at a KOA campground. If I read the phone number right (at about 0:43 in the video) the area code + exchange would appear to place this phone in Pueblo, Colorado. That could be right, given the scenery. But the more important question to me is: Does the phone work? Watch and listen to find out. This video is from the FamilyEscapades YouTube channel.
