James Curwood was an outdoorsman, conservationist and prolific author.
Although he lived and had a writing studio in Owosso, he used to make short trips to a lodge that he had built near Roscommon, MI.
This lodge is located along the Au Sable River in/near a wilderness area. The lodge has an extremely huge stone fireplace built by Ora Billman, a local Roscommon man, who also built one in Cliff Durant's fishing cottage in 1920.
After Jame Curwood died in 1927, the area was neglected and became filled with underbrush. About 15 years ago, the lodge was bought by a private individual and the area cleared up. The lodge is, therefore, on private property. Consequently, I planted the box away from the lodge.
There is a road, Curwood Trail, that leads to Curwood's lodge. This road may or may not be private. If you drive down Curwood Trail, you will see two cabins. The second one, the one at the end of the road, is Curwood lodge.
Clue:
Start at the Chase River bridge which is on Chase Bridge Road, 2 miles north of M18. There is a canoe launch at the bridge. Drive 0.2 miles south on Chase Bridge Road and turn left (east) onto Hickey Creek Road. In less than 0.1 miles, you will come to a road on the left (north) with a sign post with a green and white street sign that says "Curwood Trail". There is also a telephone poll at this intersection and on the south side of the intersection is an orange cable route post. From that street post/sign/intersection, walk 50 steps eastward down Hickey Creek Road. Look to your left (north) and 15 steps away is a 3.5 foot high tree stump. Inside the top of the tree stump, under tree bark and lots of sticks is the letterbox.
Because the new plastic container is a little larger, it is a little more difficult to cover it up. Put lots of tree bark and sticks on top of it
