Text: According to Robert Long, Donald Wanha had told him that Donald Wanha cut the grass about in the middle until the fence was put up. Robert Long had no other evidence as to the use of the disputed property from 1965, when the Wanhas moved in, until 1980, when Robert Long moved in. Robert Long claims that he has mowed and trimmed the disputed property since 1980 and has talked to neighbors while standing on the disputed property. The Wanhas claimed that they used and maintained the disputed property from 1965 until 1996, when Robert Long took the fence down. The owner of Lot 106 stated that the Wanhas had maintained the disputed property for 30 years, even prior to the installation of the fence by the Shannons. The owner of Lot 106 had never seen Robert Long maintain the disputed property prior to 1996, nor had he seen anyone other than the Wanhas doing so. The owner of Lot 107 also stated that he was unaware of anyone other than the Wanhas being in possession of the disputed property during the 30 years he had owned Lot 107.
