Wagon Wheel Wagon wheel meat it was time to get ready. Pack up belongings you have, which wasn’t mach. Take what would be essential for survival. The wagon was also symbolic of a chariot that was to carry them home. Along with the wagon wheel were sunbonnets worn by women who rode on wagons. By lowering their heads, the bonnets acted as disguises and helped slaves get closer to freedom. |

The Drunkards Path told runaway slaves to hide their tracks by back tracking their escape in a different direction. Hopefully by doing this several times, those following the runaways would get confused and give up the chase. |

The Bear’s paw told runaway slaves to watch for bear tracks in the spring. After hibernating all winter, bears would be hungry and would go looking for food and water. Runaways would watch for bears tracks- know the tracks would lead to food and water. |
