2012 - Guardian Angel Roadside Chapel, Clear Lake, IA

I discovered this gem while on my way to Iowa's Honey Creek State Park.  Located in Clear Lake, IA, the Guardian Angel Roadside Chapel was built in 1991.  The large stained glass cross above the altar was meant to be a beacon to travelers on interstate I-35.
