 | | In 1991, the Missouri Friends of the Wabash Trace Nature Trail, Inc. (Wabash) offered Norfolk $13,000 for a quit claim deed conveying 25.6 miles of the right of way to the organization for use as a hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, and nature trail. |
 | | During the transaction between Wabash and Norfolk, Carroll Lee Boyles, owner of property adjacent to the right of way, began mowing a portion of the right of way and erected fences across it. |
 | | Wabash's argument that the right of way was not abandoned, but put to a new use as a trail did not persuade the court. |
