CACHE IS NOT LOCATED AT THE POSTED COORDINATES. Those coordinates will take you to the place my son went to write his driving Learner's Permit test.
*Please note: Cache has been replaced and is now a micro. You are looking for a waterproof match container that is fastened to the tree with a cable tie. Please just take the lid off the container, DO NOT remove container. BYOP.
This cache is placed in celebration of the oldest gang member's 16th birthday. He is eager to get his Driver's License, so his birthday cache is themed as such. To obtain the coordinates for this cache, you must first pass your written driver's exam. Good luck and drive safely!

There is an FTF prize, which is a wrapped gift--you don't get to know what it is until you claim it :) This is also the starting point for my son's TB.
One final thing to remember when out geocaching--my son will soon be a licensed driver, so for heaven's sake people, stay off the sidewalks!
