Geocache Description:

Secure the fort! That is the command given to guard the inhabitants and riches of the land. With the recent completion of the newly renovated & upgraded wet market and food court; more and more people are flocking to the City of Kovan to explore the new happenings. Traders are seen coming into the city each day with their new wares in the hope of building up riches in their trade.

Traffic is also seen piling up each day as more and more people trudge in and out of the City of Kovan. In order guard the riches of the land and protect the safety of the inhabitants, the City Mayor has ordered to secure the city gates. Gantries have been set up at 5 strategic locations to monitor the vehicular traffic flow entering and leaving the city.
