Just Hanging Out 2 Traditional Cache
Blind Umpire: Due to the construction of the Cushman Trail, the cache is no longer there. Rather than replacing this one, I know another cacher will want to place a whole series along this new stretch of the Cushman Trail.

Nice walk on dirt road. Cache is adjacent to the road. Two hills to climb.
There are two entry points to this cache. It is up to you which one you prefer to take. I suggest you begin at the northerly end off 96th Street and Burnham Drive. Park at N 47* 20.727, W 122* 36.230 near the first gate on your left with views of a washing machine lying in the middle of the trail and the numbers 10-405 on the power pole. The City of Tacoma owns this right-of-way. If you like mountain biking bring it along and after you find the cache, you can follow the dirt road out to the Wilkinson Farm caches or peddle on up to the Big Green Worm cache as all three are very close. If you're like me and just prefer to hoof it, the above coords will take you to a point high above Gig Harbor, where next to the road the cache will be hidden. There is no bushwacking involved. The theme is the same as the original "Just Hanging Out" cache. My GPS showed a ~19' margin of error due to the overhead power lines. After you locate the cache, pause a moment to take in the view of Gig Harbor Bay. If you decide to continue south to the Wilkinson caches, you'll have to cross a washed out section of road that may be a little challenging but not impossible. The cache is filled with lots of new and nice things suitable for children of all ages. Please trade up or just sign the log book. Double-check the lid to be sure it's snapped closed and make sure the cache is tucked back in it's resting spot before you leave. The cache is 1/2 mile in. Wilkinson caches are approximately another 3/4 of a mile south. This would be a good one to do at night under the light of the moon if you're so inclined. Good luck and have fun!
