Our host, Rusty Owens, and his associate, Ernie Morgan, will inspect each car’s engine compartment and underside looking for safety and maintenance concerns. They can answer questions about routine maintenance procedures and ongoing problems. Previous sessions have identified safety problems and deferred maintenance of which the owner was unaware so you may want to take notes. As in the past, Rusty will also generously provide lunch and soft drinks. There is no charge for this event.

National Cryptologic Museum Tour

8290 Colony Seven Rd.

Annapolis Junction, MD 20701

Saturday, March 4, 2023

11:00 am

As a follow-on to the recent International Spy Museum tour, the RROC Chesapeake Region will visit the National Cryptologic Museum on Saturday, March 4, 2023 at 11:00 am. The National Cryptologic Museum opened in 1993 and was the first U.S. Intelligence Community agency to have a museum open to the public. There is no admission charge. Depending on how many we are, we may have a guided tour through the exhibits which highlight the origins of code making and code breaking in colonial and Civil War times, various vintage code-making devices, the evolving computer technology that drove cryptologic advancement, and a couple displays on the 1967 attack on the USS Liberty and 1968 capture of the USS Pueblo intelligence collection ships. Also on display is a large Bombe cipher machine which broke the German military’s highly secure ENIGMA cipher machine in World War II. This museum is the only one of its kind to have an ENIGMA cipher machine that visitors can type on to get the feel of encrypting a message. And like all good museums, there is a gift shop to purchase your cryptologic souvenirs. Previous visitors to the museum may recall a packed array of exhibits. The recent renovation of the museum has resulted in fewer exhibits but on a periodically rotating arrangement.

 Directions to museum:

 From I-95 or the Baltimore-Washington Parkway, take the exit for MD Route 32 East for Ft. Meade

Follow signs to Exit 10A for Canine Rd. NSA immediately past the exit for the Parkway

Turn left at traffic light onto Colony Seven Road where you will see a blue “Museum” sign.   Do not go straight ahead. This is the NSA employees’ entrance. If you do, you will be stopped by NSA Police and detained while they check your identification and vehicle registration.

Follow Colony Seven Road past the old gas station to the museum parking lot.

  Lunch:

 Around 12:30 we will depart the museum and convene for lunch on your own at the Timbuktu Restaurant, a local but famous restaurant known for its oversize crab cakes. Other seafood and non-seafood options are available. Timbuktu is located almost 7 miles north of the museum via the Baltimore-Washington Parkway at 1726 Dorsey Rd., Hanover, MD 21076.

 Directions to lunch:

 Turn left out of the museum parking lot and follow Colony Seven Road out

Turn right onto Canine Rd. and go west on MD Route 32

Stay in that lane for Exit 10B to go north on the B-W Parkway

Stay on Parkway about 6 miles to MD Route 100 West for Ellicott City

Take the next exit (#8) for Coca-Cola Drive

Turn left at top of exit ramp onto Coca-Cola Drive

Turn left onto Dorsey Road

Turn left into Timbuktu Restaurant parking lot

              Please reply to Tony Wilner by February 22 at twilner@verizon.net or call/text at 443-514-6695 so arrangements can be made for a guided tour and ensure table seating at Timbuktu.

The Chesapeake Region has been invited by the Piedmont Pre-War Car Enthusiasts and Ayrshire Farm in Upperville, Virginia to participate in a 70 mile drive through the Virginia Piedmont. The Piedmond Pre-War club is, as it says, enthusiasts of pre-war cars. But all are welcome to join this drive, but pre-war cars will take the lead and others will follow. So, if you have a pre-war car, it is your chance to give it some exercise. Bring your oldest car. This is a leisurely tour through the countryside, NOT a race.

We will visit a working water-powered grist mill on the Shenandoah River where we will have a box lunch, stop by the Burwell-Morgan Mill and the Old Chapel, Long Branch Mansion, and Bluemont Vineyard, with optional stops at Bear Chase Brewing Company and Barrel Oak Winery and Taproom.

The tour ends at historic Ayrshire Farm where we will have an ice cream social and a farm tour to see the rare-breed cattle, pigs, and horses on this working organic farm.

Cost for the day is $45 per person, not including winery or optional entry fees. The $45 includes lunch and the ice cream social.

We will try to arrange group rates for Long Branch and the Burwell-Morgan Mill (that have entrance fees) once we have a good headcount.

Note: the start and end times listed above are estimates. We will update the exact meeting time once we have more information from Ayrshire Farm.
