Does anyone know of a website that gives current information on each state's restrictions for entering the state? Thank you for any ideas?

I think the constitution says unless you are a felon you are free to travel state to state. States can request but not restrict. But there may not be anything open when you get there.

Since the circuit court ruling in Corfield v. Coryell, 6 Fed. Cas. 546 (1823), freedom of movement has been judicially recognized as a fundamental Constitutional right. In Paul v. Virginia, 75 U.S. 168 (1869), the Court defined freedom of movement as "right of free ingress into other States, and egress from them."However, the Supreme Court did not invest the federal government with the authority to protect freedom of movement. Under the "privileges and immunities" clause, this authority was given to the states, a position the Court held consistently through the years in cases such as Ward v. Maryland, 79 U.S. 418 (1871), the Slaughter-House Cases, 83 U.S. 36 (1873) and United States v. Harris, 106 U.S. 629 (1883)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_movement_under_United_States_law

K Charles, I found your post interesting. We are not thinking of leaving for a couple of months. I have been researching RV parks, and many of them are still open. Our goal is to go to national and state parks. We will not go if they are not open. When I read that Montana would want us to self quarantine for two weeks upon entering the state, I was concerned. Two weeks without leaving the trailer definitely would not be fun!!!!! Thank you for your post!

It's just a recommendation that you should avoid public interaction. I don't see how it's feasible, we have the same thing in Michigan. Folks from Detroit and Chicago coming up to their Lake Michigan cottages for the weekend are supposed to self qt for 14 days, well, they're here for three and the first thing they do is stop at the grocery store which is public interaction.Traveling in an RV, if it's a bigger one maybe you could stock up with food and supplies, so you don't have to re-provision right away? This limits your public interaction.

It's good enough for this purpose. You be amazed what people opt into, or their governors opt them into. This is an "end justified the means" situation.

There's surprisingly little electronic privacy protection in the US, compared to the EU.

Nope, just involved with a state agency that is setting up to handle this data.

I thought privacy constraints mean that legally these companies can't share this data, at least PII/personal data. General volumes maybe, but they can't share information on specific people - not legally. Despite class action suits, reputational risk would cause stocks to plummet. So while they can say that X people traveled in this manner, but they can't disclose that Bob went from here to here, unless Bob himself shared it - and even then not at a data level, only at a user level. On top of that, the data is only as good as the volume of users who have these social networks and if their location information is on.

Each state is responsible for and in control of their own state parks, forests, etc. If it is a national park or forest, it is under the control of the federal government. Simple. Numerous states are beginning to reopen closed state facilities. Here in Va, for example, state parks are open for "daytime activities", although the beaches in them are closed except for exercise and fishing. All the camping facilities in the Va state parks are closed as of today. Officially, they are still closed until June 10th, but that could be altered.

Whose going to know if you are self-quarantining? Who's going to know how long you've been in the state? Are drones going to follow every out-of-state license plate? So you enter MT and go to an RV park. Are you supposed to check in and say you're under quarantine? This whole subject sounds ridiculous, kind of like using the honor system to enforce speed limits.

Talking to a small fly shop at a RV park we go to for most of the summer in Montana, and they said they were kicking campers out of the campgrounds. I would have to assume is was out of state campers. How ,and why I don't know, but they still have the 14 day quarantine in place, and how they would know the number of days.

I am hoping all that is lifted in June when we are going to go . I suppose if its still in effect, we could be prepared for 14 day quarantine . I have to assume they don't want you in grocery stores ,gas stations etc. That would not be much of a problem where we go , will lhave plenty of food , the river is near by to fish , no need to go anywhere for that 14 days ,suits me just fine :B

I agree - we just arrived back home in Michigan after a winter in FL. I had NO food - what the heck was I supposed to do - gnaw on twigs for 2 weeks? I put on my mask and dropped $300 on groceries to last a couple of weeks.

For those headed south into Florida on I-95, they are still stopping every passenger vehicle/RV, etc at the weigh station (and waving the semi trucks around) - the traffic was backed up about 2 miles.
