Hi Handbell Parents,

We had a great 5th day.

We met at 7 AM at the Arvada Methodist Church for breakfast. We then boarded the bus for a trip over the continental divide to Grand Lake Lodge on the edge of the Rocky Mountain National Park. We met Julie Ott, a former Chapel and Calvin handbell ringer who works at the lodge for the summer. We took a short tour of the quaint town of Grand Lake followed by lunch at the lodge. Then we went to Adams Falls for a short hike.

We then boarded the bus for a 2 hour trip to Steamboat Springs, CO. We spent a pleasurable hour in the hot springs and pools at Steamboat Springs Health & Recreation. From there, we went to the Concordia Lutheran Church to set up for our concert this evening. We were served an absolutely outstanding dinner prepared by members of the church. Then, the Calvin and Chapel ringers performed to a very apprecative packed house. Then it was off to our home stays. We experienced very gracious hosts and excellent accomodations. Thank you Concordia Church members!

Tomorrow we will be up early again for our trip to Jackson, Wyoming.

p.s.,
I have been unable to send e-mail via my lap top and cell phone for the past 24+ hours. So, I am sending this from the Days Inn in Jackson Hole via Judy's Truthmail account.
