Yeah. I neglected to mention above that the first part of my first tour was a group tour of 13. We rode from Seattle to Bar Harbor, ME. After that, I rode home to Philly solo. My third tour was a in the U.S. and was about 7 weeks long. (Second one was in Andalucía.) I noticed that during my two U.S. tours that I had more interaction with strangers when I was solo than with a group. I chalked that up to the perception on the part of strangers that you are more self-sufficient and less lonely when you are with others than when you are solo. Also, I am sure it's easier to offer one person a beers and hot dogs or a slice of pie than it is to offer that to 13 people.
The last time I was in Glacier N.P. the wife of the campground host gave me some fresh out of the RV oven oatmeal raisin cookies.
