OP: You stated you've been to Alaska several times already. I'm wondering why you want to caravan? You could probably drive it blinkfolded! ๐

Done The North 3 times. Once with another 5er owned by a very long term friend.
Not easy. There are conflicts in how much distance wants to be covered, conflicts in what time to get moving each day, conflicts of what to see & how much time to spend seeing it.
If you want the security of a caravan pay the $$ & do a professional tour. Otherwise wing it on your own. The North is not the dark side of the moon. Yes there is no cell service for huge stretches of road. Yes, roads can be very deserted. But along the way you will meet the same people at various CGs. Everyone is on the same mission. It is not like there are that many roads to make a wrong turn & get lost on. The worst frost heaves are better than the potholes of many interstates.
Slow down. Do it on your own at your own speed.

Thanks for the interest, but I'm thinking that I'd probably like to cover 250-300 miles a day or so, which may be a little faster than you like. And maybe take a day off in a nice location every 3 -4 days.

We'll be heading north around June 1st for what will most likely be at least a 3 month trip. This will be our second trip. Don't mind meeting up every couple of days. However, traveling full time together is a mistake, found that out the hard way! Way too much to do and see for a 60 day trip. That's why we are planning for at least 3 months.

I've been up to Alaska several times in the past and kinda want to be heading back down south before September 1 to get back to NM and get ready for elk and deer. Maybe could caravan up together?

We are planning on entering Canada at Sweetgrass Montana on or about June 1st. We have reservations at Grizzly Bear Resort over July 4th. We only drive 4 hours a day and sometimes stay somewhere we like for 2-4 days. That is the extent of our plan. We are not opposed to traveling with others but we understand that our travel patterns are a little different than most. We will return when we get around to it, probably September.
