Back when I was a child, my family would visit the club, and my grandfather and uncle would take me out fishing on some of the lakes in the club. I clearly remember there being an old caboose in the woods, directly next to one of the lakes and we toured it. Anyone have any info on the caboose and if it is still there? I seem to recall it being run down, but it does not fit the style of the club (it is an ultra-exclusive private club with something like 25,000 acres of pristine, virgin forest in the huron mountains has a membership of 50 members who are elected in, one being in my family. Henry ford was even rejected for many years) their buildings, while rustic, are not run down.
Like I said, it is a very very long shot since practically nobody can set foot on the land, but figured someone might know of a caboose out there. My grandfather says it was in the club on one of the lakes, but cannot remember what lake and doesn't know what ever happened to it.
I live in Marquette and I have been inside the club boundaries on business. I have never heard of the caboose you mention, but that does not mean that the caboose is no longer extent. I will check around during my next trip home and see if anyone knows of said caboose.
In the meantime, Google Earth, lots of coffee and several hours of spare time should give you an answer.
