Puzzle Description:

No money, but food

Hobo signs were drawn or carved into walls, trees, doors or other surfaces to indicate dangers or opportunities to other indigent travelers.

Most of these symbols were fairly geometric, so I have made them more organic to make the solves better.

This symbol is only in the Swedish hobo sign system

If the signs were carved into something, how would they know when the food was gone?

During the depression my dad was in the hardware business so between government projects, the mines and ranchers we survived better than many, but I do remember reading about the hobos and their signs.

Enjoyed the puzzle.
