OUR NOTES
We missed visiting Huckleberry Mountain by about 10 years. It was sold for under $500 to the highest bidder at auction and removed.
More info about its removal and rebuild on the owners Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/HuckleberryMountainLookout/
There are still ruins left at the site, including some timbers from the R-6 and the cement footings from both the L-4 and the R-6 towers.
We found the initials RB in the cement on one of the footings from the R-6 built in 1974.
We found these two crosses on the same hill and are researching to see if we can find who SHATZ was in relation to Huckleberry Mountain. If you have more info, would you please consider messaging us?
The smaller cross was placed in memory of Robert Maxwell of Calder, ID. This was one of his favorite places – and we see why. RIP ROBERT MAXWELL. And thank you to his nephew Terry for sharing that information with us, its obvious your family loved him very much to honor him in such a special place.
The smaller cross with no name is my uncle Robert Maxwell. It was one of his favorite places to visit. His wife spread his ashes in the area. He was a long time resident of Calder. I have a similar picture.
Thank you so much Terry! We really appreciate knowing that – obviously he was very loved if your family put a memorial for him there in his favorite place!
