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.

Miscellaneous:

Buddy Hackett, who stared in the movie, The Music Man, also stared in many of Walt Disney's Love Bug movies.  "Herbie" was the name of the Volkswagan and on the side of it was the number 53.  Well this is # 153 of this series and as long as it has a 53 in the name this is a good time to do something with a Volkswagon Bug.

The only VW I have is a trackable I call The Love Bug and all it wants to do is be discovered.  It is not going to be going from cache to cache as other trackables, nor will it be headed to any events.  The only place it will be discovered is here, so when you have signed the log and recorded your smiley, take the time to discover The Love Bug. 

 

Please Do Not Discover The Trackable Until After Logging The Cache
