 In 1926 , Hebard was elected the new president at the Huron Mountain Club and changed its rules for admission . Before the changes , all existing members voted on new admissions , and four " no " votes meant rejection . After Hebard 's changes , only club directors could vote , and only one " no " was needed to block election . In 1927 , the road grading for M @-@ 35 had reached the Salmon Trout River . That same year , Ford bought more land near Mountain Lake . This property encompassed more than the requisite two @-@ thirds necessary to stop construction of the road . In 1928 , the road was moved to connect with the Big Bay Road ( CR 550 ) , leaving the stub of " Blind 35 " behind . According to club records , " by 1929 , M @-@ 35 was dead in its tracks and Henry Ford was a member " . To commemorate his membership , Ford built a white pine log cabin on club property that cost between $ 80 @,@ 000 and $ 100 @,@ 000 in 1929 ( equivalent to $ 5 @.@ 2 million to $ 6 @.@ 5 million in 2015 ) .
