A Möbius strip is a surface with only one side and one boundary component. How can something like this happen in the universe? It baffles the mind to think you can stay on one surface and go in a loop forever, but it's not a solid sphere and it's not a circle. Interstate 270 has similar features. You can go around it forever and never reach a stopping point, yet it's not a sphere. I'm pretty sure there are a few dozen poor souls who continually travel the corridor, trapped in a geometric anomaly. I hope they nab all these caches along the way!
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 Unfortunately, by the time we started caching, the series had passed its prime and many of the hides have been archived.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!
