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.

Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám translated by Edward FItzGerald
This Persian poetry in this translation describes the true pleasures in life. As Eulalie MacKechnie Shinn (the mayor's wife) in The Music Man said, the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám is a dirty, "smutty" book because of the references to: "lying out in the woods eating sandwiches"; "getting drunk off of gin"; and "drinking directly out of jugs with innocent young girls."
