Something you don't see on the road everyday DSRV-1 Mystic
Headed home from a sales meeting north bound on hwy 99, I ran across this cool deep water rescue sub. The thing looked like a fat missile with a propeller.

A buddy was a pilot on the Mystic back in the early 90's. He's got some cool stories. I believe they are out of service now and a museum piece.

I just saw that too, but from a lot further away! I told my wife it looks like submarine but no way that could really be it... apparently I was right
