Travel restrictions

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.

You can download a copy of the Constitution of the United States from many places.. a true copy. both as an APP or as a PDF Even before the INTERNET there were places you could download a copy and I did and printed it out and kept a copy or two in my locker at work as well as on ye old disc drive.

IN COMMODORE 64 GEOS FORMAT no less. (That gives you an idea of when).

I have not seen that. in fact I've seen many laws and rules where states LIMIT entry into their states.. For example if you travel from AZ to CA there is a check station and if you are carrying counter-band.. Turn around and go back.. People have crossed from MI to Ohio in violation of a quarantine and been arrested and their property which is what was quarantined destroyed.

That last was for medical reasons by the way (Emerald Plant Borer quarantine against transporting bark on firewood 500 Pounds of it).

So I do not think there is any constitutional violation and highly recommend you download and read both the Constiution and the Declaration of Independence....

I've been in many political discussions (elsewhere) where I copy and paste the applicable article or section and occasionally even the preamble.. Interesting reading.

So in a sense, yes, they have a drone following everyone.

What if you turn off your phone,,
or leave it inside the house or RV and then go out ?

I think wearing protective face mask would be plenty protection to prevent spreading virus IF someone had it.

in China it was mandatory for everyone to wear it,kids adults everyone and they stoped it in 3 months

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.

To quote you back, "This sounds ridiculous."

States, counties and cities have their own respective Covid-19 regulations.

Bay Area in CA can give you a citation, with fine of $1,000 if I recall correctly, if a LEO sees and apprehend you.

^ Common sense post.
Methinks there's a whole lotta people that haven't left the casa since March and don't realize that it's not an apocalypse "out there."

Self quarantine doesn't mean you can't leave the trailer. 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.

Unfortunately not true. From a recent email I received from recreation.gov. " Please be aware that out-of-state travelers are required to follow the governor’s 14-day quarantine directive before they recreate in Montana including camping in this campground, due to the risk of spreading COVID-19 and taxing local healthcare resources. The directive can be found at https://covid19.mt.gov/. This directive includes the requirements that those in quarantine cannot leave for groceries, recreation, work or any other activity and restrictions on group size."

Also received a similar email from a private campsite saying along the same lines in MT. They had previously said their general store was stocked for provisioning. But then sent out another email a week later saying if you come you stay in your rig bring your own supplies :(

Local town also banned all short and long term lodging till June I believe.... Applies to CG's and Hotels ETC

not what you're looking for but its a good resource.

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!

National parks and forests are subject to federal guidelines. National forest gave out statement that they will do phased opening defending on local conditions.

State and country parks are within local jurisdictions and subject to state and local authorities. A few are already opening and outdoor recreations are on top of their lists -- again, also subject to local Covid-19 protocols.
