re: Professional Caravans
Without commenting on the merits, a couple of things to note about the organized/professional caravans that visit AK:
- when they pull in to "town", they tend to impact the local "RV" services fairly significantly (depending, of course, on the specific location
- a group of 15-20 RV's can also provide a challenge for other passing traffic on some of the (predominantly) 2-lane highways around the state
I've got an idea! Why don't those of us who have lived, worked, or just been to Alaska dozens of times get together on this forum and write a guide for RVers traveling to Alaska!
We could include mile-by-mile directions, so no one would ever get lost, and gas stations, restaurants, and RV parks, so everyone would know where to find them. Then no one would need to caravan because they would have more information than they could ever use!
We might even call it "The Milepost"!
