Caravan Trip to Alaska

We did Alaska last summer. A caravan wasn't even in the picture as we are too independent for that. Maybe I want to turn somewhere to see something and the caravan goes the opposite direction? Maybe I want to leave early the next AM or stay an extra day? We saw several caravans during our trip. Kind of fun to watch. Wagon Master says "next pull off or rest area we are stopping", but not enough room for the total caravan, so some are on down the road mixed with everybody else. And believe me they stop at all the touristy stuff and shuttles to the trinket shops. Maybe I don't want to eat at the salmon restaurant they are shuttling to. And if you break down the caravan will move on, schedules, schedules! Reminded me of my days in the Army. Formation and more formations. And the cost is very prohibitive in our mind. But if you are into it, they do give you a windshield sticker with what number you are and what caravan group you are with, you know just in case. Oh and I almost forgot, name tags and they might even throw in a jacket with their logo on it of course.
