Survivalists, Town Clash Over Craftsbury Road. There are two lessons to be learned here: 1.) OPSEC, 2.) Fully research any right-of-way and easement issues before buying a retreat property! Unfortunately, the body of case law that has accumulated on prescriptive easements does not bode well for the new land owners. If a road is used "openly and notoriously" with continuity for many years--in this instance for 150 years--then the weight of legal precedent is definitely on the side of the townsmen. (The length of use that establishes a prescriptive easement varies from state to state.) If Mission New England wants a private road, then they need to move to a different locale. Please pray that they can see the wisdom of this, and that the situation doesn't spin out of control.
