Road Hazard is all patched up and ready to roll. Yesterday we spent the day running after certain items to patch up the hole in the basement compartment and reattaching the fender.
I replaced the wood in the compartment and added a wrap of galvanized steel around the outside of the box to protect it from the elements and road debris. I had to fix the mud flap because it was all twisted up but that only required taking it apart and banging it out with a hammer to get it sitting properly again. The last part was reattaching the fender. With the violent force, put on that entire area, the screws that hold the fender in place were just stripped right off. Just a matter of drilling in new holes and attaching new screws. As for the rip in the fender there is nothing like duct tape. It even matches the gray on the RV already. The important thing is it should all hold until we make it down to Phoenix and get it repaired properly.
As for us? We decided to stay put in Flagstaff and drive to the Grand Canyon in the Pick Up. After talking to a few people in the campground we discovered that the campgrounds near the park are really not that good. It's not that far but the comfort of this campground is well worth the drive. We will head off today to check out the big hole in the ground.

Hey, guys! When you're heading to Phoenix, give me a shout. Maybe we can hang out. If you come on a weekend, maybe you can play some volleyball. This Saturday (7/19) I'll be hiking near Payson---you should check out the Mogollon Rim area before you come all the way to Phoenix if Road Hazard will survive. Be safe and enjoy the scenery.
