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.

Mr. Toot would not be around if it wasn't for Meredith Willson and he always considered Mason City as his hometown. He came back on many occasions throughout his illustrious career. So, it is only fitting that some of these cache pages would be about Mason City.
First & Foremost - Welcome To Mason City
We are glad you are here and hope that you enjoy this geoart. It has been lots of fun in implementing its design and finding information to include in the pages, and then trying to find even more information. It has been a challenge in getting everything set to come out "just right". More of this on other cache pages.
