I am up in Valdez, AK now. I did the trip alone, do not need any one to hold my hand.
My wife and I grumble and groan, and sometimes flat out refuse to do any type of tours, museums, etc if a Caravan group will be there with us. We come back another time. Waiting in line, talking loudly, etc etc are not for us. We came for the quiet.
We try not to stay at RV parks that allow Caravan groups as well. Made that mistake at Liard River. I don't know how anyone can enjoy 30 diesel and gas engines starting up at precisely 8:00 AM, sounded like a huge construction site and scared all the wildlife away.
I do recognize that some people are not like us. If you like the sound of a truck shipping yard in the middle of a forest, yelling loudly to other people, driving with a constant view of a rig in front of, and behind you, you may love a caravan.
