The Beltway mileage from Cherry Hill to I-270 is about 11 miles. Drive it between 10-2 and stay in the 2nd lane from the right. (Avoid merge lane coming on). Once you get past the Connecticut Ave exit, (Rt 185) move to the right lane and take the I-270N road. Make sure you don't take the RT 355 exit.
The section from Georgia Ave to Rt 355 road is called the "Rock Creek Roller Coaster". Long sweeping curves with the Mormon Temple on the right side of the road.
Smooth sailing from then on. I have driven the Beltway for 20 years in my motor home towing a toad and never had a problem on this stretch of road. Just take your time and don't be switching lanes all the time.
I use Google Earth to view new roads that I will be traveling on. Check it for the Rt 355/Beltway/I-270 interchange. A picture is worth a thousand words.
I asked when you were going to be on this route to make sure it wasn't in January-Feb timeframe. It gets cold in Gettysburg that time of the year. April could also be cool at night. Great sleeping weather.
