The Holy Family Shrine Virtual Cache

We used to drive on I-80 just a mile or so east of Mahoney State Park and wonder what that is they're building on top of the hill south of the interstate. From the distance it looked like something they started to build but never finished. Curiosity got the best of us one day so we jumped off the Interstate to seek out this unfinished structure. After taking a trek South toward Schramm State Park and making a wide loop back to the West and to the North. We eventually found it and we weren’t disappointed. This is one of the most tranquil places we’ve ever been to and one that we visit quite frequently. We wish to put a physical cache here eventually but need to sell the Board of Directors on it first. Its also know as the Church of the Traveler. The hours for the Shrine are Monday to Saturday 10-5 and Sunday 12-5. Church service is at 10 on Saturday. People have parked at the gate during closed hours and walked up there, you just can't get into the visitors center or the chapel. Here’s the Shrines web site for more info Holy Family Shrine

The above coordinates will get you to the parking lot. To get credit for the find, take a picture of yourself with something on the site that shows you’ve been there then post it to the web site. Some suggestions are in front of or around the inside or outside of the chapel, inside or in front of portions of the visitor’s center, the garden area, etc. Try to show others in these photos of what they might see at the shrine. For those that don’t have a camera, you can just locate the smal rock that is in front of the statue of Mary and email me the inscription or just its reference. Please spend some time going through the place and go see the glass etching in the church. We think you’ll enjoy it as we do.
