Plaintiff appeals and we reverse. Plaintiff purchased tax lots 1800 and 1803 in 1994. Defendants' property, tax lot 2000, borders the disputed parcel on the east. A 20-foot easement exists on the disputed parcel close to the eastern boundary of tax lots 1800 and 1803. There was testimony that at one time there were two fences on the disputed parcel with a road running between them.
Defendants contend that the fence line west of the road is the boundary of their property.
Dorothy Engelson's parents and defendants Cheryl and Sandra Engelson's grandparents, began renting property that included tax lot 2000 in 1924 or 1925. The Drakes purchased the property in 1930. From 1924 or 1925 to approximately 1963, the Drakes operated a dairy farm on the property. There was testimony at trial that during the period from 1925 to 1937 defendant Dorothy Engelson and her sister, Genevieve Slaughter, picked berries, apples, hazelnuts, and wild flowers, rode horses, and ran cattle on the disputed parcel. Sometime during that period, from 1925 to 1937, the Drakes rented additional property west of tax lot 2000 on which to run their dairy cattle.
