14. Smith purchased 5 acres square tract of undeveloped rural land in the frozen north from Jones who owned the property for decades granted by quitclaim deed for $10,000 in 2005. He began to fence off the property. Unbeknownst to either Smith or Jones, Bloggs has used the property each summer as campsite during her month long vacation for the past 25 years. In the fall she taps what maple trees there are on the land for their sap. Bloggs brings an action to quiet title against Smith. Assume that the state has a twenty-year statutory period.
Suppose in 2010, ten years after Bloggs entered on to the land, Smith entered the land while Bloggs was tapping the maple trees. He told her to get off his land, which she did. He then taped some of the remaining untapped trees. The next day he posted "No Trespassing" signs. Bloggs returned the following week, and continued her use for the period largely unmolested by Smith, though Smith occasionally taped the maples in succeeding autumns. Has Bloggs fulfilled the requirements for adverse possession?
No, his entry is insufficient to interrupt the continuous requirement.
Yes, his entry is no longer adverse.
No, his use of the land no longer renders her use exclusive.
No, his use of the land is minimal and therefore her use remains exclusive.
