Welcome to Shrine Mont!!
Shrine Mont is a place where people are more important than things, where prayer and reflection, rest and recreation are more important than appointments and tasks. It’s a place where people give thanks to God for his creation—from the beauty of the streams, flowers and wildlife which are at home here, to the people who come to this place to celebrate being part of the family of God.

Central to life at Shrine Mont, is The Cathedral Shrine of the Transfiguration. The open-air Cathedral of the Diocese of Virginia was consecrated in 1925 and every stone, pulled by horse or rolled by local people from the mountain, was a offering of love and labor to the Lord. The baptismal font, a dugout stone used by Indians to grind corn, connects us to the human roots of our country and is no less the reminder of God’s provision and providence.

The Virginia House (formerly known as the Orkney Springs Hotel) was purchased by Shrine Mont in 1979. Since then it has served as the headquarters of the Retreat center and reminds us of God’s gifts of craftsmanship and human potential in the service of our Creator.

Nestled among the trees at the foot of Great North Mountain in the Shenandoah Valley is the beautiful, serene community of Orkney Springs. From the days when the elegant and historic Orkney Springs Hotel (currently the Shrine Mont Conference Center) was host to hundreds of guests from throughout the country coming to take advantage of the healthful “cold water springs,” this little town has been a place to get away. Since the 1920’s Orkney Springs has guarded the entrance to Shrine Mont with love and devotion and the people of this companion community have ever been fellow servants striving for the glory of God.

There is a rich tradition of parishes within the Diocese of Virginia, retiring to Shrine Mont for a weekend of rest and relaxation. These parish retreats afford us all the opportunity to spend time together in an environment that may open new relationships and offer the opportunity to deepen existing friendships.

This packet is designed to help you transition easily into the weekend, It is offered as a tool to ease tensions and provide opportunity. In this packet you will find:

Commentary Directions

Hello,

Below you will find directions to Shrine Mont in an expanded “commentary” style. This commentary is offered in the hopes that some of the information may be helpful as you plan/execute your trip. Please feel free to add to or correct the information for next year and have fun. God’s peace and protection be upon you.
Taking 64 west from 295 there are a few food opportunities along the route. If you can make it to Charlottesville, exit 120 5^th Street (approx. 54 miles from 295) has good choice of relatively clean fast food stops, including McDonalds and Wendy’s. There are also gas stations on this exit.
Continuing on from Charlottesville you will begin the uphill climb to Skyline Drive, there aren’t many places to stop along this leg of the drive so take note of the Rest Stop at mile marker 113, 10 miles from Charlottesville.
Continuing up the grade, by the time you pass exit 107, Rockfish Gap Turn Pike, you will know for sure that you are on your way to something spectacular. The mountain views begin to take shape and, with just 5 miles to Skyline Drive, the mountain air (even if it’s hot) is refreshing.
Passing Skyline Drive there is a 4 mile descent with breathtaking vistas on your right and an expanse of wild forest and sky.
Exit 94, Rt. 340 affords the opportunity to “gas and food up” at all the usual plus Shoney’s and Cracker Barrel. A little further up 64, exit 91 boasts Subway, McDonalds, Shell, Sheetz and a local hospital.
Just 6 miles further on, passed beautiful open farm land you will take exit 87, I 81 north to Staunton/Winchester.
--note: it is a good idea to tank up along this next stretch, after exit 227 and the rest stop, there will be no services for 13 miles.
Traveling up I 81 there are several opportunities to stop in on historic sites. Immediately after merging on I 81 exit 222, Rt. 250 boasts the Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library and the Frontier Culture Museum (contact information for these can be found on page 16).
13 miles further up I 81, exit 227, Rt. 612, Laurel Hill Road, will lead you to the Augusta Military Academy Museum.
5 miles further up the interstate there is a Rest Stop and there are no more services for 13 miles!
Exit 235, Rt. 256, Weyers Cave Road is the exit to take to get to The Grand Cavern.
Exit 245, Rt. 331, Port Republic Road, Harrisonburg, (the home of James Madison Univ.) is the location of the Virginia Tourist Information Center and is a great stop to stock up on local attraction information and directions. This exit also leads to fuel/food and medical services.
Continuing up scenic I 81, you will pass exits for Skyline Drive (exit 33), Shenandoah Caverns (exit 257), Endless Cavern (exit 257), and Lurray Caverns (exit 264).
--note: the following exit is alternate to the short directions on page 2.
As an alternative to exit 269, Caverns Road (the exit in the “short directions” to Mount Jackson), you can exit early on exit 264, Rt. 211, W. Old Cross Road, New Market. New Market is a delightful little town of services and shops that can provide pleasurable distractions to the long drive. Go to Rt. 11 and make a right, driving south through town, and take in the local color. Make a u-turn when the town thins out and drive passed Rt. 211 (where you came from) north. You are now on your way (by the back road) to Mount Jackson.
Continue up Rt. 11, Lee Jackson Memorial Hwy, 7 miles to Mount Jackson.
Turn left on Rt. 263, Orkney Grade Road and enjoy the next 15 miles of absolutely beautiful countryside until you reach Shrine Mont.

Geocacheing

What is Geocacheing? Geocacheing is an entertaining adventure game for GPS users.

Have you heard of “Letterboxing”? Geocacheing is the 21^st century GPS equivalent.

Letterboxing is an intriguing “treasure hunt” style outdoor activity. Letterboxers hide small, weatherproof boxes in publicly-accessible places (like parks) and post clues to finding the box online on one of several Web sites. However, clues to finding some of the most highly-sought boxes are passed around by word of mouth. There are about 20,000 letterboxes hidden in North America alone. Individual letterboxes usually contain a log book, an often hand-carved rubber stamp and may contain an ink pad. Finders make an imprint of the letterbox's stamp on their personal log book, and leave an imprint of their personal stamp on the letterbox's logbook.

Based on the same principles of Letterboxing, Geocacheing uses a GPS device (instead of clues) to locate caches (instead of a box). Once located, a simple cache may contain just a logbook. The logbook contains information from the founder of the cache and notes from the cache's visitors. The logbook can contain much valuable, rewarding, and entertaining information. A logbook might contain information about nearby attractions, coordinates to other unpublished caches, and even jokes written by visitors. If you get some information from a logbook you should give some back. At the very least you can leave the date and time you visited the cache.

Larger caches may consist of a waterproof plastic bucket placed tastefully within the local terrain. The bucket will contain the logbook and any number of more or less valuable items. These items turn the cache into a true treasure hunt. You never know what the founder or other visitors of the cache may have left there for you to enjoy. Remember, if you take something, it’s only fair for you to leave something in return. Items in a bucket cache could be maps, books, software, hardware, CD's, videos, pictures, money, jewelry, tickets, antiques, tools, games, etc.

Shrine Mont has 4 hikes set aside as geocacheing hikes and access to others off-site. Come then! Bring a friend and CACHE the day away!

GPS devices and instructions are available at the Front Desk in the Virginia House.

What does it Cost? $15 for 4 hours.

$25 for full day
