If you always wanted to come across a mysterious phone booth that may or may not be able to transport you to another world, we've got the scoop on one such spot. Alta Lakes in Colorado is home to a lone telephone booth planted neatly alongside the water. Though we can't say for sure, it all seems very Dr. Who-ish and might be there to access other realms. No one knows how this vintage booth ended up at the edge of an alpine lake, but its a magical addition to the gorgeous landscape. Alta Lakes near Telluride, Colorado, sits among the wilderness with breathtaking views. Three lakes make up the area, and it is by the third you will find the mysterious booth nestled among the foliage. As you approach the water's edge, you will see the vintage structure sitting peacefully near the shimmering lake, as if it has been there since the dawn of time. For all we know, it has, and we hope that if we jump inside, it will take us on a Dr. Who worthy adventure.

Instead of listening to those who stated this was “not possible” he believed he could create something to benefit his mother and the deaf, which went on to benefit all of our communication. He soon invented the microphone and later the "electrical speech machine" aka telephone 😌☎️ - Believe you can solve your worlds largest problems and watch it happen!
