That’s unfortunate that a judge that’s ruled on this made two incorrect statements.
A boundary survey map or an old map showing a named road can in fact prove that a highway is public. There is much more to road ownership than if it can support public use or not. Simply because it’s overgrown and lightly used means absolutely nothing as far as legal ownership goes.
Also, Her statement about the road needing to be “open, notorious and adverse” in order to be public is incorrect also.
If the judge was wrong, the representation is immaterial.If that's true it would seem that one side had rather poor representation.

Bern Lea is leaving as President very soon. He's done a bunch of digging around in cellars, and old closets to keep public lands available to us.Win some - lose some.
Regardless, PLWA continues to do the foot work. An outfit worthy of the public land hunter's support.
Unfortunately, the average age of the gentlemen active in PLWA is way up there.
Old enough that the "lose some" age bracket will overtake the "win some" (here read - new blood) bracket.
There is hope though - on PLWA's home page there's a "meateater" sponsored T, as well as ol' Tony Schoonen......
Now, maybe if PLWA held meetings at microbreweries and put their logos on flat hats.....
That is good to hear. If the new blood can do ten percent of what Bern Lea has accomplished, it will still be very impressive. Thanks for sharing the positive note.Bern Lea is leaving as President very soon. He's done a bunch of digging around in cellars, and old closets to keep public lands available to us.
I grew up with Bern's son, (one of my very best friends). I would classify Bern a very good friend also. He told me that there is new blood working PLWA's mission.
