I just didn't have a solid idea of what type of puzzle to construct when I first started thinking about this cache. Wouldn't it be cool if I built one of those puzzles where the text itself somehow hides the coordinates? I couldn't resist the idea of doing a text puzzle and also pretty quickly decided that the puzzle should involve a cipher as well. So I've decided to hide the keyword for the Vigenere cipher below right here in this paragraph. You're going to need to read or maybe analyze this blue paragraph carefully to build or extract the keyword. But I think the word really isn't too hard to find for the careful reader. After finding the keyword you'll simply apply it to the enciphered text below and you will be finished with the puzzle portion of this cache.
