The Russian Sub
There is a longer story around this photo that I caught on video... I'll wait for that to be released!But, as you can see, I clearly got onto a Russian sub in the middle of the night.  It was docked right next to the Queen Mary in Long Beach.  As I was walking across its iron surface and hearing the empty echoes below, I could not imagine the sub making it all the way from Russia to this harbor.  That was a long, dark, cramped ride...- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of the post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
