Newburgh, NY to Hershey, PA

Thanks for all the advice so far. We are fine tuning our route south to VA. So from Newburgh, NY to Hershey, PA is over 3 hours driving 84 to 81; is this accurate and would you drive straight through? We have never driven the route and this will be our first trip with the fiver. We are seeing different opinions on the road conditions.

We are trying to stay with the 2/2/2 rule. We will be 3 days in Hershey. Any rec's for a CG somewhat near the Hershey museum. Would like to spend a day seeing Amish sites as we have never been in this area of the country.

Thank you for all your advice, it is appreciated.

    Enjoy!


    Thanks so much for this!
  • I-84 to I-81 is a good route. If you don't want to drive straight thru, you could overnight at the Mohegan Sun Casino in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area.
