>From the Steep Jeep Rd Y2K PCT Mile 320.3 it is 2.42 miles to the use trail
down to the Summit Valley Store.

I am almost certian there is no payphone there, if there was I would have
recorded it's location and phone number.

If you need a pay phone in that area the place to look might be the
campground for Mojave River Forks Regional Park,
http://www.co.san-bernardino.ca.us/parks/mojave_river_forks.htm. The
facilities list a Public Phone. Though these things are becomming like the
Dodo Bird. If you are depending on the phone being there I'd call the park
office and verifiy it is still there and functioning.

Cheers
