Then east to Gettysburg area.The question here is I want to avoid the Pennsylvania turnpike if I can for cost reasons, etc. I was thinking of taking I-79 south to I-68 east to Hagerstown then on to Gettysburg.
Any thoughts about this route?
This is a good choice, I use this route when going west, and back from the Harrisburg, PA area. It is about 45 miles farther but, for me, the extra gas is cheaper than paying the tolls. Plus, the PA Turnpike is a boring ride.

IF you decide to take the PA Turnpike, DO NOT get off at Breezewood and take US 30 east to save on the tolls. It is hilly, winding and has a couple runaway truck ramps before you get to Fort Loudon.
