Distance between Poconos & Hershey, PA?

[jamesy]

Does anyone know about how long it would take to drive from Poconos(Hawley) to Hershey/Gettysburg area? Would it be something we could do if staying in Poconos?

Per mapquest, 2 hours 38 minutes.

At least and not something I'd consider during the winter time.

It takes us about 2 hours, no traffic, no weather issues, so I would plan on about 2.5-3 hours. Not a bad drive, but I would not recommend it if a snowstorm is moving through the area.

Just like anything, you need to be prepared. If you come from Colorado or Utah where snow is an everyday occurance then by all means watch the weather reports to see if any real big storms are coming. But for the most part, we have mild winters in PA including the Poconos.

Although, we are due for a really white winter. :whoopie: I'd love that one since I am a skier...

I'll second this! I've had the largest black walnuts and acorns in my backyard this year, and Squirrels everywhere. Last year I didn't see any squirrel's!! We are due!

The drive from the Poconos to Hershey is relatively easy.

Peace,

We do? You could have fooled me! I guess "mild" is in the eye of the beholder.
