Geocache Description:

Cipher Fun: Duck!


History lesson: if Blaise de Vigenere had been born a bit earlier, Mary Queen of Scots might have kept her head. 

This cache is part of my 2008 Puzzle Challenge.  The container is NOT at the posted coordinates.

To find the container, you'll need to solve this cipher:

PUIXBBVINYARLTQKUFQGLVSKQWG. XCQIKWBTOBLBZCYTYWMEUVCZ. GQERRYYFYQAVDQCPOKQAK.

I've already given you the encryption technique.  Now you can pick your decryption method: find the keyword, or use frequency analysis to crack it.  If you crack this one with frequency analysis, send me some detail of your work and I'll probably give you bonus
points.


You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.
