Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT located at the above coordinates. To reveal the final hiding place, solve the puzzle below.

This cache has moved. If you have solved the old puzzle, send me the exact decrypted text and I will provide you with the updated location. The new puzzle works EXACTLY the same way as the original except you will get the new location. The same process is used to decrypt both messages.

I was bemoaning the dearth of cryptocaches in the area. I decided to augment the current complement with this little gem. The only problem is that I don't get to solve it. You see, I too, have those Marion Cryptocache Blues.


I got those Marion Cryptocache Blues

I cannot make sense of this gibberish
This puzzle is bordering on fiendish
While the others are racing to finish
That which I am unable to vanquish

Playfair, Porta, pig pen, transposition
Vigenère, Beaufort, and substitution
Seemingly meaningless without function
Perhaps within tis a course of action

To the key of the cache I must be blind
My fellow cachers are logging the find
While I struggle and fall further behind
This cache will surely make me loose my mind

I got those Marion Cryptocache Blues


Solve the following cryptogram to decode the cache's location. You will probably be singing the Marion Cryptocache Blues before you finish.
