The site is maybe an hour and a half from here just south of Gettysburg and you really only take a few turns once you get out of our driveway as it's right off one of the main highways.
You can see our photos here:

Since we were in the area we checked out where I used to be stationed while in MD. Actually I was stationed in MD but worked in MD and in PA.
You can look up SITE Rand find much more information and photos of this site. It was built to house the president and members of congress during a nuclear war.
We drove around the mountain and actually right up to the rear gate just as I remembered 20+ years ago. The rear gate was never manned and is in a residential neighborhood. What I did find rather strange was the amount of developement in the area generally but around the mountain specifically. It's strange to see these huge $250k+ homes sitting right up to 2 rows of fence topped with razor wire.
We went onto to see what was left of Ft. Ritchie. It had been decommissioned in the late 1990's as part of the BRAC. You could see the former barracks was in the process of being demolished.
