This really happened

Probably almost 15 years ago.

We were coming back from Ocean City. Both sons-in-law left the beach early to go back to work, so our daughters, the kids, my husband and I were all in the van, to go back to our daughter's house and then home. The van was crammed with all of our beach stuff. We took the wrong turn on the way back from the beach and ended up entering NSA HQ, which was one way in and no way to turn around.There was a long line of vehicles, which all had to be checked through, and it looked like we were going to be delayed forever. But a convoy of trucks allowed us to go ahead, and we explained to a guard that we had taken the wrong turn. We had to go to a special area, were questioned, the van checked. A guard asked my daughter for the registration, and she asked me to get it out of the glove box. I realized that on another drive, my son-in-law had privately told me he had a gun in the van, jic. I was horrified to think what would happen if a gun fell out while I was getting the reg. I was so glad that didn't happen! The check took quite awhile, kind of extended because the guard was hitting on my daughter (!) but they finally had a guard from the canine unit come over to escort us out. They were in a vehicle and had a dog in with them. We had the van windows open because it was so hot. We heard the dog barking its head off as we followed the vehicle out. The escort hit their gas and zoomed away, almost as if they were trying to lose us. We almost followed them back into the complex, but luckily 2 of the 4 adults in the van were paying attention and we got back on our way. Turned out that there was a gun in the van, in a hidden compartment. No one else in the van knew it was there, but the dog did. lol I'll never forget the dog barking and the driver screaming 'Shut up!" as they sped back to hq.

The guards in the car with the dog had guns that were a lot closer but somehow the dog smelled a gun hidden in another vehicle?

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Her landscaping looks very overgrown. Her front door wheelchair ramp looks like it's seen a better decade, IYKWIM.

Can you really "mistakenly" enter a highly secured government facility just by taking a wrong turn?  I know right around here, Fort Drum might as well be Fort Knox.

I did this once but not by accident. My dad and I were driving along the north side of Edwards Air Force Base. I saw a sign for an entrance and decided to go ask about visitor tours. Turns out is was the wrong entrance for that and the guards there were not happy about it. They took copies of our drivers licenses and then watched us closely as we turned around.

I looked it up later online and scheduled a tour where we entered at a south gate. You park outside and then a bus takes you on the tour.

Many years back we were on vacation in the south, possibly Myrtle Beach, but might have been Virginia Beach.  I had a bill I needed to mail out that week, so I was using Waze to guide me to the post office.  Well, it guided me right up to a military base where I had to explain myself.  I don't think they gave me the stink eye, but after checking my license they kept a good eye on me as I went through the gate so I could go around the guard post and exit the other side.
