Depending on your state, it is entirely possible that an implied license or 
right of wway has accrued over time, and unless I knew what the estoppel 
period in your state entailed, I won't guess.


You add, in a subsequent post

>The 'nearby ham' claims that there is some sort of 'once it's there for x
>amount of years and no one complains' law.

and he might be right.

Best advice is to have the ham in question try to solve it amicably and 
then retain counsel.
