John Hargrove retired a few years back but that hasn't slowed him down any. In fact he even ran last year in the Mother Road 100, a 100 mile foot race from Arcadia to Sapulpa in 26 hours and 56 seconds.
When he's not running half-way across Oklahoma, he keeps busy building Route 66 icons on his property. He's currently working on a 1/3 scale Catoosa Blue Whale, which when done will be on the pond on his 8 acre lot.
John's great guy. We had a lot of fun seeing his place and listening to what he had to tell us. He'd make an awesome neighbor. On his lot you'll find these two vintage Texaco gas pumps.
And for you lovers of all things petroliana, just up the road a piece is the home of Route 66 author Jim Ross. He built it to look like an old Philips 66 gas station. (
