Wow I am sorry to the origanal poster, I stirred up a hornets nest.
Yes this law is ridiculousness, I have never actually met anyone in person that thinks it is a good law. So I am surprised that a few people on here think it is okay, maybe I shouldn't be surprised. God bless the internet.
What has been pointed out here for ways of breaking the 20 year stretch or other ways of not letting happen are all well and good except for one major flaw. You have to prove it in court. So for starts having to fight to keep your land in court is ridiculous even if you win. Also, If you find yourself heading to court with your neighbor over this chances are they are not a morally sounds person (IMHO) and will lie and it will be your word against theirs and chances are unbeknownst to you they probably have been building a case against you for years.
Having to even go to court over this is crazy, this as American right.
