Forester wants a legal right of way. For about 30 years we previously used another road that went through a creek and was sometimes impassable, that road has long since grown over. The present road runs right through the center of neighbors property, it's about 80 acres? The  sides of his property are swamp and a hill, so re-routing the road on his property line would not be good. There used to be a camp on the property but that burned down about 40 years ago, when the camp was there we were asked not to use road.
