#1- Easiest route for you would be I-495 to I-270N to US 15 (Frederick, MD) and then on to Gettysburg, PA. 82 miles more or less of limited access highway. No problem with propane on this route.

#2 - I-95 north to MD-32 west to I-70 west to MD 15 North.

#3 - Left out of park (Cherry Hill Road). North on RT 29. West on RT 32 to I-70 west to MD 15 North.

Personally, I'd recommend #2 before #1 due to the "roller coaster" feel of I-495 that another poster mentioned. I drive and tow that area often but that doesn't mean I like it. :) I also feel like those lanes around the Mormon temple are more narrow. Maybe it's just my imagination.

#3 would be a cold dark day- I hate Rt. 29 in that south end.

The OP asked for routes to Gettysburg. I don't know from the "rollercoaster" feel of the Beltway. Never experienced it. Guess I drive it to much to notice. Next time I go to Rockville, I will keep that in mind. And the OP isn't driving it every day. It might be fun. It's still, barring rush hour traffic, the quickest and simplest route. Tractor trailers, buses, motorhomes and 5'ers travel that route by the thousands every day. I don't know about the lane width. but I am willing to bet that it's just as wide as the rest of the Beltway lanes. I will let you get out there with the measuring tape and prove me wrong. :B

As for #3, I work right across the street from Cherry Hill and when I needed to go north and the Beltway was jammed up, I would sneak out the back gate and use that route to get to 29. It was the "old" way before they opened up the Inter County Connector (RT 200). Now I shoot up RT 1 and jump on the ICC.
