Inverness, CA (Remote payphone) - Although in an extremely different environment, this could be a worthy successor to the Mojave Phone Booth: the payphone in the attached photo at the Tomales Point Trailhead at the Pierce Ranch Tule Elk Preserve in the Point Reyes National Seashore. It is 12 miles north of the village of Inverness (type in "Pierce Point" as a location in Inverness, CA, just to see how far out it is).

As shown on the phone, the specifics are:

1 Pierce Point Road
Inverness, CA
(415) 669-9997

If you were to call late morning - midday on a weekend you would likely get an answer from hikers queing up at the trailhead or perhaps even an NPS docent who would gladly describe the resident Tule elk herd (the bulls of which are the size of a small pickup truck and about as fast). There's also cougar and steep towering seaside cliffs down to the Pacific Ocean area where great whites spawn nearby. Nature rages here!

Enjoy...
