What Is GHAWG?
#GHAWG is short for "God's Hog: A Watchful Guardian." This fictional story tells how David Guardia, a courier and business owner from Bayonne, New Jersey, US moved into the next phase of his life after spending the final ten years of his ailing father's life helping him.
More details can be found in the first post of this weekly recap.

| We would have ridden past Warwick after we left Luther, only at Warwick is Seaba Station Motorcycle Museum. This museum is so old it predates US Route 66 by 5 years. It was a no-brainer for us to take time to appreciate history. |
|---|
| ποΈ Felix Legion is made up of 7 individuals-- David Guardia, Rhonda Bella Guardia, Hank Marchenko, Frank Marchenko, Sanjay Rampersad, Lionel Odunsi, and Lindsay Etxeberria. Even though The Kids may not have been rising motorcycles for as long as The Elders or even The Twins, they have as much interest in motorcycles. It makes sense for them to take a break from riding along Old Route 66 to visit the Seaba Station Motorcycle Museum in Warwick, Oklahoma, US. |

| In Chandler we made a pit stop at McJerry's Route 66 Gallery just off US Route 66 at West 3rd Street; award-winning artist Jerry McClanahan is also author of the EZ 66 Guide for Travelers. For lunch we ate at Route 66 Bowl. |
|---|
| ποΈ This is not only a pure travel entry but also a free bit of copy writing to highlight two businesses-- McJerry's Route 66 Gallery and Route 66 Bowl-- and one product (EZ 66 Guide for Travelers by Jerry McClanahan). |

| "Honey, we're home!" I shouted "What?" Rhonda shouted back. I pointed to the brick mural which reads Welcome to Davenport Route 66. We paused long enough to take pictures. We saw more murals as we rode through Davenport. |
|---|
| ποΈ The Newlyweds first met formally in Davenport, Iowa, US when they were first David Guardia and Rhonda Bella. The most famous place named Davenport I know about is this one in the state of Iowa. Other places named Davenport exist, but that one is the best known of them. |
5οΈβ£0οΈβ£9οΈβ£ 2024-July-10 00:00:30
| The Rock Cafe in Stroud, over 7.5 miles east & north of Davenport, is where past meets future. Rock unearthed during contruction of Route 66 was used to made the cafe. It also has connections to the Disney Pixar movie Cars. |
|---|
| ποΈ Using rock unearthed during the construction of The Rock Cafe is one thing; it's one of the oldest forms of recycling known to humanity. Connecting The Rock Cafe to the 21st Century by including it in the computer animated movie Cars adds to the history of both The Rock Cafe and Route 66. |
5οΈβ£1οΈβ£0οΈβ£ 2024-July-11 20:01:18
| At Sapulpa, nearly 35 miles east of Stroud, we turned north one town block from US Route 66 to 24 North Main Street. Gasoline Alley Classics opened a retail shop in 2022. Old Route 66 merchandise is on sale to adorn man caves. |
|---|
| ποΈ Route 66 is such an important touchstone in American popular culture that many people want to own a piece of the once popular and always legendary road. Sinage, knickknacks, memorabilia, media, whatever-- if it's related to Route 66, these people want it. Proof of this is the fact that the store, Gasoline Alley Classics, opened for business in 2022. |
5οΈβ£1οΈβ£1οΈβ£ 2024-July-12 16:38:54
| Through Tulsa, US Route 66 tracked along I-244. At Exit 241 we turned north to stay on 66. After riding a short distance we reached Homewood Suites by Hilton Tulsa Catoosa. Playing tourist took up most of our day and night. |
|---|
| ποΈ For anyone wanting to set any speed records of some sort or other, tourism is out of the question. As much as everyone in Felix Legion wants to complete the ride, they also want to witness as much as they can on this once-in-a-lifetime ride they're making. |
5οΈβ£1οΈβ£2οΈβ£ 2024-July-14 18:46:09
| About 1 mile northeast from the hotel is the Blue Whale of Catoosa. It's the centerpiece of what used to be a swimming park in its first 2 decades. We noticed a signpost of 12 towns which dot all regions served by Old Route 66. |
|---|
| ποΈ The Blue Whale of Catoosa is one of the most distinctive tourist attractions along Old Route 66 in Oklahoma. Even though it is no longer used for its original purpose, it is still one of the more interesting things to see while riding the path used by Route 66. |
