Hi, We want to do a rim-to-rim backpacking trip in Grand Canyon National Park. We plan to arrive on May 15th when the North Rim is open. This trip would take 3 nights to complete. We've applied two times for backcountry permits to do this trip, but we didn't get a winning number or however they do it with a lottery or drawing. We know there are permits available for walk-in visitors that don't have a reservation, but the GC website says that those permits do not permit overnight stays Does anyone have any tips on how to get a backcountry permit that would allow us to complete this rim-to-rim backpacking trip? Thanks, Thad

Hello, I'm looking for an RV Roof Repair shop in the Tucson area. They need to be able to fix a damaged upper rear corner on our travel trailer. The previous owners backed into something and the roof membrane (rubber-like material) that covers the roof was torn off of a small area at the corner. The people who had the trailer previously had it repaired but did a botch job overall because they covered everything with caulk and put a piece of plastic sheeting over the area and caulked it on. That plastic did not last long as the UV exposure caused it to become brittle and break off. When I removed the remaining plastic pieces and took the corner cover piece off and got the caulk off the underlying plywood, I could see that the membrane was extended down the side of the trailer for some inches. But I had to cut some small parts of the membrane off because it was a mess of caulk. Now I see that I've taken on a more complicated roof repair job than I had anticipated. Does anyone know the name of a good RV Roof Repair specialist in the Tucson area? Thank you, Thad Schifsky
