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.
Mason City
New Fire Department was built in 1912, the same year as the storyline of The Music Man
This photo is from the late 1930's which can be determined by the vehicles parked in the alley next to the fire station. Yes, I am old enough to remember the "Fire Barn" as the firefighters used to call it. I also remember that they made the strongest coffee I ever had.
This photo is to remind you what this geoart is all about. Mr. Toot shows up on the Water Towers.
