In the past 12 years we have participated in 6 SMART caravans and One Good Sam (Oshkosh) and thoroughly enjoyed every one. We made life-long friends each time. The social side is better than the scenery and the scenery is pretty good. We spent 62 days on an Alaska caravan and about the same in the Maritimes and many trips west. SMART caravans are planned and executed by volunteer Wagon Masters and Assistants. Many take more than a year to plan and incorporate the lessons and highlights of previous trips.
