The Oregon Surveyor | Vol. 38, No. 4

many years on property that had no deeded access.
His rather lengthy drive crossed his neighbor’s (Mr. B’s)
property. Mr. B (an attorney?) had recently purchased
his property, and when he found that Mr. A didn’t have a
recorded easement, he proceeded to block Mr. A from
using the driveway. The attorney asked that I go out and
locate the drive and prepare a metes and bounds description
that could be included in an easement document and taken
before a judge, so a ruling could be given favorable to Mr. A.
I told the attorney that the sequence I wanted to follow
was for him to make a case to a judge that Mr. A was
entitled to an easement over the existing drive. A favorable
ruling from the judge would provide cover to go on Mr. B’s
property and do the work needed. It was obvious the
neighbors had an adversarial relationship and I didn’t
want to be caught in the middle. As it turned out, this
course of action was followed and Mr. A got his easement.
Once in the past, before the right of entry, one of our
crew was run off a hostile owners property at gun point.
Not likely to have happened in my case but you never know.
I challenge you 50 and over folks to take Greg’s advice
and use whatever means possible to mentor the upcoming
generation of surveyors and anyone else that interfaces
with our line of work.
I’m sure there are other things I could expound upon,
but space is limited, and it’s time for my nap. ◉
