Geocache Description:

Don't worry! This isn't really a Zachary-style puzzle that will make you use your brain cells for hours! This cache is a simple location-based puzzle with some calculation required, which leads to a really interesting final location. It may look like an urban cache, but don't be fooled. Be prepared for some jungle trekking, so be in the proper attire, put on some repellent and, most importantly, BRING A TORCHLIGHT! 


“Look at how a single candle can both defy and define the darkness.”

-Anne Frank-

This cache was inspired by the beautiful quote from Anne Frank, the teenage girl who hid from the Nazis in a secret chamber, and filled her days writing thought-provoking reflections of her ordeal in her diary. Her diary is filled with some of the warmest words from the darkest days human history. Those days are hopefully long gone, but some things of the past still linger on, and so, I hope to read your own tales of light and darkness in your logs    

Final coordiantes: N 01° 16.133 E 103° 49.050 (insert this into the geocheck for a hint for the final)

The GeoCheck also contains information that will be vital for your journey into the darkness. The coordinates are fuzzy (up to 30 m) to allow for any conversion rounding errors. Good luck and godspeed, the Darkness awaits...
