Florida Plates; How to Prove We haven't Been There Lately.

We're planning to leave the Tampa Bay area on July 7, driving straight through to Denver. Florida is becoming a real hotspot for COVID. I'm worried that one or more of the states we'll have to pass through could impose travel restrictions, possibly after we're several hundred miles into the trip. We also plan to visit a few other states out west before heading home in October, and FL license plates could be a problem.

We're retired and have been able to social distance, wear masks, stay home, etc. We will take all precautions while traveling to avoid spreading, in case we happen to be carrying it.
  
It would help to be able to prove that we've been out of Florida for several weeks, once we've reached that point. Google Maps sends me a report monthly on where I've driven, I assume using data from my map searches and location data from my phone . Does anyone know how to access that information? Or have any other ideas for proving where we've been, and when? Or anything to add regarding recent travel experiences, etc. 

This is a trip we are committed to making for various reasons.

Thanks!

Governors can with the proper state statutes deny entry, remove or quarantine travelers. Receipts etc. might prove you have been out of Florida for whatever time but getting a state to except that proof could be difficult or impossible.

I would keep all my gas receipts and any other receipts you may have in case they are needed to prove where you have been.

Just put them all in a big envelope in the vehicle somewhere.

No matter how much some of the Governors want to, they are not going to be able to demand your "papers" Nazi style.
You may get asked at some point if an area is having real problems, but I wouldn't let it stop me from going. In each case simply stating where you are going and that you're a turtle (carrying your house on your back) and therefore are social distancing should end any questions as long as you don't leave the US.
