Day 15, last day to travel to a host church on this tour & instead of taking the entire drive on the bus today, The Wesley Bell Ringers traveled part way by rail today on the Durango to Silverton train. 3.5 hours in the most amazing scenery to date, the choir enjoyed being together to have this experience. Once in Silverton, a town created to mine silver, The Wesley Bell Ringers had a couple hours for lunch & to explore before meeting up with the bus the drive through the San Juan (Rocky Mountain) range on the Million Dollar Highway to Montrose Colorado for their last tour stop before heading home to SLC on Sunday.

| Some serious conversations happening on the Durango to Silverton train. |
 |
| How many thoughts must be going through Ed's head at anytime will always be a mystery |
 |
| The Wesley Bell Ringers made it to Silverton - they mined SILVER there, right Anna? |
 |
| Looks like they let ANYONE into the town of Silverton. The Wesley Bell Ringers ran into their most favorite bus driver who took them on adventures last tour & the tour before. They missed his sassiness & love of the choir. |

| The Wesley Bell Ringers finally did it, their music was so incredible, it moved these two to sleep. After the concert their mom purchased a CD to play to them at bed time. |
