Geocache Description:

An ammo can at the top of Fletcher Mountain, one of Colorado's highest 100 peaks

At 13,951 feet, Fletcher Mountain isn't quite a fourteener, but close enough to fudge it. Heck, if the weather changes, your altimeter might think it's above 14,000.

We approached from the Blue Lakes Trail Head. From the saddle that connects Fletcher and Quandary it's only half a mile ATCF and 600 vertical feet. There's no trail, but a few kairns if you're imaginative. You could think of the whole mountain as one big kairn. The rock is tallus and larger.

The container itself is an ammo can near the top. In case the coordinates aren't cooperating, you can measure 30 degrees (with a ten degree East variance) from the summit log at a distance of 33 feet. Spoiler pics are listed below.
