I originally thought that your suggestion was best (and tried it), but upon looking in Mapquest their recommended route is actually 3.1 miles shorter (from my house). Looking at a map, 301 actually meanders east (southeast) so you end up going east to eventually go further west on 44 to meet 75.

The 3.1 miles in distance isn't a big deal. My route takes me on roads where there is no stoplights, the speed limit is 55 mph on county roads vs. 35 mph for long stretches of 301, and the roads are virtually unoccupied (vs. 301 traffic near Wildwood). Also, going on the turnpike sooner allows you to proceed at 70 mph vs. staying on a slower portion of 301 for a longer period. Try them both and let me know what you think.
