Cache Is Not At The Posted Coordinates
Mr. Toot is the mascot not only of the North Iowa Band Festival, but also for Mason City as a whole. His image has appeared on everything from T-Shirts to business cards to city light poles. Now his image also appears on the geocaching map just south of Mason City Iowa. Each of these puzzles will include a fact or story in theme with the art series. Some may also include a question or two for you to answer correctly to find the coordinates.
Band Fest
N 43 05.662 W 93 09.700
The 1938 North Iowa Band Festival featured 47 bands and was held in conjunction with the centennial of the Territory of Iowa. This was also the first year in which a Band Festival queen was crowned -- Shirley Morgan of Sheffield, Iowa
There are no pictures of Shirley Morgan, band queen of 1938, nor was I able to find any pictures of the 1938 Band Festival Parade. Instead below you will find a map of all the land area the Territory of Iowa encompassed in 1838.
As you can see, there is no NW Angle in this map.
