Huckleberry Flat is a small pasture below Harris Creek Summit near Placerville, Idaho.  It was October 20, 1974 that 17 year old Mark Carlson of Boise arrived here on a hunting trip.  He worked at the Downtowner Motel in Boise & recently bought his first car, a blue Mustang.  When he didn't return home that night a search was underway, but snowstorms delayed the process.  Two days later he was found face down about a hundred yards from where he parked (likely beyond the gate) with a single bullet wound to the stomach, though the bullet was never recovered.  Having trauma to his back, it also appeared that his body had been dragged to the location.  It wasn't until two years later when his rifle was recovered more than a mile from his body; his hunting coat was still missing & has never been found.  This alone likely ruled Mark's death as a suicide.  Before he left on his trip, he told his sister Connie that he was going hunting with 'someone' but did not identify who, though it may have been a co-worker.  The case to this day remains nearly 47 years unsolved with the Carlson family still actively seeking answers.
