Good Road to Follow…
Every Monday I’m going to do a Hobo Sign to explain what it is. The first one is a “Good Road To Follow”. In the early years of Hoboes they’d mark signs for other Hoboes to follow. Sometimes good and sometimes bad. I’ll try and explain some of them for everyone.
This means that it’s a “Good Road To Follow”. What does that mean? Well it could mean it’s an easy road to walk, or road is full of friendly people, or plenty of food, really a lot of things. It told Hoboes that it was OK to travel that route. When you’re walking along think were you could put these that another traveler would see. They on buildings, walls, fences, back of signs, and any visible spot. Look around and see if you find any.
The only question I would have is how does the Hobo know it is a good road to follow until they get to the end of it?
Because we meet brothers coming from the opposite directions, or it’s not our first journey.
