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.

As of August 26th Final Location Had to be moved.

The Music Man

Mayor Shinn: [to Prof Hill] I never had a son!

Mrs. Shinn: [not seeing Prof Hill] I never said you did.

Mayor Shinn: What would you know?

Mrs Shinn: Well, I'd certainly know if I gave you a son!

Mayor Shinn: I wasn't talking to you.

Mrs. Shinn: Well who were you talking to?

Mayor Shinn: I was talking to-

[realizes that Prof Hill is no longer there]

Mayor Shinn: Never mind!

[Mayor Shinn storms away]

Mrs. Shinn: Zaneeta, call the doctor for your father.
