The Solution

The cipher is a modified Baconian Cipher where A=G and B=O. Replacing the letters and removing the punctuation and spaces, the string of A's and B's can be entered in an encoder/decoder like this one: http://www.purplehell.com/riddletools/bacon.htm

In doing so the message is decoded as:

I/J L E F T T H E R O A D A N D I/J O U/V R N E Y D F A R P A S T T R A C E O F A N Y H U/V M A N H A N D T H E W A N I/J N G S U/V N A C R O S S T H A T G R E A T A N D A N C I/J E N T O C E A N O F S T O N E C A S T M Y A T T I/J T U/V D E D A N C I/J N G T A L L B E F O R E M E A S E C O N D S E L F

Or,

"I left the road and journey'd far past trace of any human hand. The waning sun across the great ancient ocean of stone cast my attitude, dancing tall before me, a second self."

This, like the previous cipher, may prove to hold clues to the treasure.
