I usually stop in about every year or so when I'm in the area. I'm not catholic or anything. I just find the place interesting. You're right, though, it's a sad state of affairs when people have nothing better to do that break and burn things. Many people just don't comprehend how special places are due to their uniqueness.

I stopped by the shrine yesterday (4/5/10) to introduce it to my boyfriend, and was sadly dissappointed at its condition. The mobile home (in your pics) has burned to the ground, but not cleaned up. The WELCOME sign is still missing... it seemed my entire conversation regarding the shrine repeatedly included the words "it used to be...." It is VERY sad that vandals cannot leave-well-enough-alone... i wont bother to "show off" the shrine to anyone again, unless i visit it first to determine whether it has been brought back up to "viewing standard"... right now its more of an embarrassment. What a shame... Thanks for the valuable info. I stopped by the shrine yesterday (4/5/10) to introduce it to my boyfriend, and was sadly dissappointed at its condition.

In the mid-70's the state park system was in the process of turning it into a roadside park, but the local vandals caused damgae, thus ending the stat's mission. I haven't seen it for over 30 years, but would like to return one day.

While growing up I spent time exploring, enjoying, contemplating the mysteries of life! There were also well worn foot trails, caves, a natural spring,etc. It was easy to believe it was my own secret, mystical, private hideaway. I still go back occasionally and am always overcome by nostalgia from the past. My cousin sold the land to the state who was supposed to renovate and re-open, but I have seen little progress. And that is fine with me! I can still think of it as my personal other worldly domain and enjoy the untouched beauty.
