A
kirkos, a kreis, and a circulus walked into a bar. "Why the round
face?" asked the bartender.
"If your radius were dislocated, you'd look like this too,"
whimpered Kreis.
Kirkos laughed, saying, "That's what you get for failing to yield
in the roundabout! You might have killed someone."
"Careful," Circulus responded, "what goes around comes
around."
"Touche!" exclaimed Kirkos.
The bartender shook his head. "You guys are all the same," he
muttered, "you all look alike and you're always whining."
"Oh, great," Kreis responded, "another shapist bartender. All
circles look the same, eh? For goodness sake, I'm German, he's
Greek, and he's Latin!*"
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passed its prime and many of the hides have been archived.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!
*Get it? Har har.
