An Addendum From Cris on Day 2 of their Adventure:
"You may recall that Cris and Jim returned from Lobo Outlook to the main road. We forgot to mention that there was a putty giveaway opportunity on the way down. There was a man with his girlfriend doing some target practice with a pistol. Cris thought it best not to provoke a gun-carrying citizen with a putty offering. Given that a Kevlar vest was not available, Jim reluctantly agreed that a man with a gun might not enjoy the same power packed fun with putty as bullets.
After arriving at Durango, we ventured out to do some shopping, picking up odds and ends for the three days we planned to be in Durango. On the way out to the Jeep, we were approached by two missionaries looking to exchange chintzy sun catchers for cash. We’re not quite sure what religion was involved, only that cash was needed. After a polite no thank you, the girls continued to request cash. Jim quickly and deftly reached into the Jeep, pulled out a can of putty and put it into one of the missionary’s hands. Surprised, she said “what’s this,” and Jim said “it’s putty” and Cris said “it’s fun.” We then left, pleased that we had spread our message about the power of putty."
