<<Is there any confusion occurring here about "Great Circle" vs. "Great
Loop"? In my mind, one refers to the shortest distance over the Earth
between two places - a "great circle" route as opposed to following lines
of latitude - and the other refers to something like circling the
continent.>>
There may still be some confusion, yes, but more and more people are
referring to the rivernavigation of the eastern part of the continent as
the Great Loop Cruise.
