This search will take you into the beautiful and vast northeastern portion of the Chequamegon/Nicolet National Forest. Local legend has it that this shrine to the Holy Mother was built at the place where someone who had been lost was found again.
Take Hwy 32 south out of Laona and turn left onto County Road H toward Bear Lake National Forest Campground. You will be turning left onto Goodman Park Road after approximately 5-6 miles. Stay on this road. When pavement gives way to gravel, you will be traveling 5.9 miles to the site. As the road meets up with and runs parallel to the Peshtigo River, look for the shrine on your left (the north side of the road.)
People leave many offerings and prayers here and you are invited to do the same. Behind Mary in Her grotto is the letterbox. It has pieces of many hearts in it, a tribute to a beloved brother who also loved the forests near here, and a prayer that he has found the peace he so desperately sought. We miss you, David.
