how long of a drive??

Hi all...I'll be traveling to Cape Cod for the first time this weekend. I know Mashpee (where I'll be staying) is only about 70 or so miles away, but I know that traffic going onto the Cape can be horrendous, plus the fact that I'll be leaving the Friday before 4th of July! Does anyone have any estimates, based on personal experience, on how long this drive might take me?? I want to arrive sometime around 3 or 4 PM...

Thanks!! :-)

Seriously I would leave before noon, and if you get there early find some place to kill time. There's a little mall around Mashpee that's nice.

i would totally agree. i used to work on the cape, and friday afternoons are nuts there. if you leave before noon, you'll be fine... head to mashpee commons, do some shopping (and there's a grocery store there if you're loading up on your own food for the vacation), grab some lunch. if you don't hit traffic, you can be in mashpee in less than 2 hours... otherwise, it's anyone's guess. if it were me, i'd leave in the morning and just enjoy some down time there before the crowds start to hit at 5pm.

have fun!

Thirded. I'd leave pretty early in the morning, actually, and then just kill time - otherwise you'll be sitting in traffic.
