[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was looking at Airbnb’s in Maine last night. It says there is a quarantine for arriving visitors but that only means you’re supposed to stay in your residence/hotel and bring your own groceries and only go to stores for emergencies. [b]Walking and hiking outdoors away from others is allowed.[/b][/quote]

So do you think that means you'd be allowed into Acadia? That's what is holding us up. I can envision park rangers not letting in people with out of state plates who can't prove that they've quarantined for 2 weeks.[/quote]

I have not seen anywhere that hiking is allowed under this batty honor system quarantine. Can you please link? [/quote]

Here is the link to the Airbnb listing that has the policy in the description: https://abnb.me/KmaMY2UNF6 ——->

COVID-19 Current Update:

Starting June 1st, Maine Governor, Janet Mills will allow short term rentals and hotels but has placed an order for those who are staying in short term rentals and hotels in the state of Maine. These guidelines apply to those traveling from out of state into the state of Maine and Maine residents who are traveling back into the state.

The order calls for a 14 day quarantine for those traveling into Maine. This does not mean that you are required to stay 14 days in Maine but while you are here, you must follow these guidelines for 14 days or for the length of time that you are in Maine.

Guidelines from Governor Mills:
-Guests need to bring everything that they may need for their stay - groceries, toiletries, etc. so that when they arrive, they are not going to stores or public places to run errands. Guests may only go to a store if there is an emergency and must practice social distancing.
-Guests are not to interact with others outside of the group that they are traveling with.
-Guests must use their own car and avoid public transportation.
-Guests can participate in outdoor actives such as a walk or a hike but must wear a mask and practice social distancing.
-This is an honor system and these guidelines are expected to be followed so that “all will be well”.[/quote]

Thank you! So helpful. I wish they were a little stricter (honor system is not something I think Americans do well with), and I say that as someone who very much hopes to take her Maine vacation this summer. I just don't want to put people there at risk. It's like a second home to us, so I really hope people will be respectful. Sticking to your group, bringing your own stuff, wearing a mask, and social distancing is not a tough set of asks right now. [/quote]

Quarantine in your house for 14 days before you leave,drive there without making rest stops. You won't be spreading anything. I wish *that* was the honor system, as I'd sure like to eat some Maine lobster and drink some Maine craft beer after going on my hike.[/quote]

You can do that. The ONLY issue might be harassment from locals, or an educational conversation with a LEO.

Honestly, harassment from locals is incredibly unlikely, especially as the summer progresses. There will be tourists, the state needs income, and most confrontational locals in Maine are libertarians. [/quote]

Actually, I kind of agree with the 14 day quarantine at home here and then drive thru to Maine.  [/quote]
