First time out of the vault

I'm sure at least one person has already asked this, but I am with a caravan from NCR to Redding. We ran into some Deathclaws fighting another Caravan. When the Deathclaws were dead, the other caravan turned on my caravan. We suffered many casualties, but we were victorious. I believe my caravan lost three people, leaving 6 or 7 including me. After the fight, I tried to get the caravan going again by going into the brown-transition exit thing (you know what I mean). To my horror, though, it just took me to the map. When I went to Redding, I realised my caravan wasn't with me. I have tried exiting the place where my caravan is from every direction, but I don't know how to get them to go with me. Is this because the caravan leader died? Can I fix it, or do I just have to realise that I'm not going to get to finish the drive and get my money? Thanks.
