1 answer
The hobo code was a series of symbols and signs left by one hobo for others to find. These symbols were typically drawn on fences or buildings to pass on information about the area or to warn other hobos of potential dangers. These symbols could indicate whether a homeowner was friendly, if the area was safe for sleeping, or if it was a good place to find food. The hobo code helped to create a sense of community among hobos and provided guidance for navigating the challenges of life on the road.
