Geocache Description:

Where in Singapore would Yamashita have hidden some of his treasure? Take a hike through the jungle to find out. Laura Croft and Spa Susi could find it. Can you?

Ahh, Yamashita's gold... Billions of dollars in gold, statues, stones, and other treasures are said to be buried in 172 secret sites around the Philippines. These treasure troves have been the object of numerous hunts and searches by treasure-seekers and dreamers for the past fifty years. It's an intriguing proposition, righttt? But what if General Yamashita left some of this treasure in Singapore when he was here? Where would he have hidden it?

Have you heard the tales of a hidden ruin in the jungle? Could this be where Yamashita's gold is hidden? Follow in Spa Susi's footsteps and find the treasure. Rumors say that the path starts somewhere along the Terentang Trail. The entrance to the path is marked by three big rocks across from a brick ruins. Fight your way through the jungle. Pass the haunted guard tower and dungeon. Walk carefully along the crocodile infested swamp. If you're lucky you will reach the sacred stairs. Pause to ponder your reflection in the holy basin before proceeding. If you are worthy you will spot the tablets that hold the key to the treasure up ahead.

Prepare well for your adventure. Laura Croft and Spa Susi could do it, but it's not for the faint-hearted. Lots of water and mossie repellent are musts. The track is rough and there are thorns all around so good hiking shoes and long pants are recommended. GPS reception is poor for most of the track so you must be able to follow an overgrown path to get safely there and back. Only those who are experienced in jungle hiking should take up this challenge. It is not recommended to get caught here after dark. If you stray from the path to explore the final destination, beware of deep holes hidden under vegetation.PLEASE DON'T GO ALONE!

In keeping with the theme of this cache, leave only gold colored objects or travel bugs for trades.
