It's
probably you. That's the famous mantra of poker players around the
globe. If you don't know who the weak prey is at the table, then
everyone else probably thinks the weak prey is you. In Columbus we
have our own brand of rounder: the 270 traveler. We can spot the
weak drivers, going 55 in the fast lane, from a half-mile away. We
have the gas stations and restaurants at each exit memorized, so we
pity the guy who's on the phone asking for directions. We don't
need to search for all the caches on The Loop, because we're not
the sucker.
The Loop was created in part because we loved the idea of "Going
in Circles," a group of caches that took the traveler around 270.
Unfortunately, by the time we started caching, the series had
passed its prime and many of the hides have been archived. To honor
that great idea, we decided to reinvigorate the circuit of
Columbus. These caches will all be very easy. But for the more
adventurous explorer, they will also lead to the completion of a
larger puzzle. The series is designed to be an easy way to boost
your numbers (if that's your deal), to take a great circular
adventure and give you a sense of accomplishment for getting them
all (if that's your deal), or to serve as building blocks for a
larger mystery (if that's your deal).
Each cache in the series contains a clue needed to solve "The
Circuitous Cartographer." If you intend to unlock that puzzle, make
sure you note the clue, the container, and the number of each Loop
cache you find. Otherwise you might find yourself revisiting caches
you've already discovered!
