We've previously placed some moderately difficult puzzles to exercise the brains of the puzzle hounds in the area, but hadn't yet put out a high terrain cache. I've retrieved quite a few high terrain caches and it can be just as gratifying as solving a good puzzle. So I figured I'd follow the crowd and put one out myself. And what could be better than a cache that exercises both body and mind?
The puzzle is a Vigenere cipher, which some of you may be familiar with since there are several other Vigenere puzzle caches in the area. There are many online tools to assist with decoding Vigenere ciphers. A search on google will turn up many of them.
Here are two useful Vigenere tools: tool 1 and tool 2. There are many others.
And here it is:

Note that the puzzle has changed from its original version since it had to be moved to a new location.
Once there is a finder, I will provide additional puzzle hints and/or help in retrieving the container for those who desire it. Just send me an email.
FTF prize is a toonie, STF is a loonie.
An added note: though cipheranalysis might be possible on this, I think it will be harder that way than just figuring out the key.
Also, it seems many people are getting hung up on a song. The puzzle isn't about music. But there is an important clue there.
As my mother used to say, bene rem gere!
