Geocache Description:


         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.

Trivia

N 43 05.272 W 93 09.708

In the original Broadway cast recording, there was a verse in the song "Rock Island" that goes, "Why it's the Uneeda biscuit made the trouble, Uneeda, Uneeda, put the crackers in a package, in a package, the Uneeda biscuit in an airtight sanitary package, made the cracker barrel obsolete!"  This verse was omitted from the film version of the song.  The Uneeda Biscuit was a revolutionary cracker that promised to be airier, flakier, and crisper than most other crackers.  The cracker was kept fresh in a brand new concept of resealable packaging.  Uneeda Biscuit was developed by the National Biscuit Company, nowdays known as Nabisco.
