I just talked to the the manager of the motel (prior to reading your post) and was told that while the motel is open the Kamiah bars and taverns are completely closed and the restaurants are take out only, Idaho’s 14 day quarantine for out of state visitors is also still in effect (as is Washington’s Stay At Home Order).

Accordingly, since I am somewhat high risk due to my age, have decided not to fight city hall and have cancelled my motel reservations. Things may change between now and May 8 but I think this year’s ride, at least for me, is a victim of Covid-19.

Ride safe and stay healthy!

This is still a go. Rooms are plenty & Idaho is “opening-up” today.

According to rebound.idaho.gov Idaho is not reopening bars or restaurants until after June 13th and all visitors are supposed to remain quarantined for 14 days upon entering Idaho. We will not be attending this weekend but may do another trip to Kamiah once everything is for sure open, which is looking like late June at best.

I am planning on doing one later this year... Hopefully early to mid summer...

Well, it was wrong on all three accounts. There was never a 14 day quarantine for people out of state. Other words , it never happened. As far as food and alcohol, they were open but we had to take it out. So the 4 of us that did go had a great time. Probably the best weather we ever had doing this event. Until next year.

There is a 14 day quarantine for people from outside the state. Clearly you folks chose not to follow it, and I'm sure you're not alone, but please don't spread false information as there's enough of it going around.

For anyone else choosing to go to Idaho, here are the official timelines. Look under the red stage 1 for the current conditions and the 4th bullet point from the top is where you can find the 14 day quarantine criteria.

AGREE! I spent the weekend in Newman Lake, just a few miles from the Idaho border, and the locals here go back and forth to Idaho like the border doesn’t exist....but that doesn’t mean the quarantine doesn’t exist or never happened, it just isn’t being enforced although any LEO probably has the option of enforcing the quarantine against obnoxious out of state visitors.

As for restaurants and bars being closed, my personal opinion is that if the normal dining areas are closed and they are only offering take out, to be consumed outside, then the establishment is closed.

Im glad to hear that the 4 who went to Kamiah still had a good time, it just wasn’t my choice this year.
