Ah, Luna. Bringer of tides, inspiration for REM songs, solicitor of werewolves. The Moon seems to be at the heart of it all, but let us not forget it is our satellite. It is obedient to us. The Moon follows a strict, albeit imperfect, orbit of the Earth. The Moon completes one orbit every 27.3 days and is, on average, 385,000 km from the Earth. Many Earth drivers are able to orbit downtown Columbus much more quickly on the route of 270. In fact, if you just kept driving, I'll bet you could orbit Columbus 650+ times before the moon gets around the Earth just one time.* What a slacker the moon is.
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 Unfortunately, by the time we started caching, the series had passed its prime and many of the hides have been archived.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 container and the password at each physical location of the Loop caches you find. Otherwise you might find yourself revisiting caches you've already discovered!
On or in each container of the Loop, there is a password which is needed to access the clue for that cache! Go to the related webpage link on the cache page and enter that password in order to receive the clue! If you have any questions regarding this, feel free to contact blandestk and/or TheLadyBee!
*Not accounting for rush hour, accidents, weather, or the slight pause you take in exiting to retrieve 20+ caches.
