If it's a big "nothing burger" why has the OP not just said, "I'll cut the trail so it stays on my property." or gone to the neighbor and said, "I believe I accidentally cut some of my walking trail on your land. Let me know if it's a problem. You're welcome to use my walking trail any time you'd like." That's what I'd consider a nothing burger.

Cut a trail on my property and there will be problems. I need more popcorn.

Your response is exactly why I'm leaving sleeping dogs lie.

It's been five years, and the neighbor hasn't noticed/said anything about it? How many acres is each property (woods?), and what are they used for? The OP should just cut a trail on his own property, and let the "old" trail revert to nature, then bring it up the next time they talk.

If it’s “nothing”, then when why was it even posted? Because someone likes drama.

I had egg casserole for breakfast. I should start a thread.

We need to get back on topic.
So, what kind of trail? Grass? Wood Chips? Paved?
And what style of fence?

Just curious what do the utility workers in your area do to "piss on your property and possessions"?

It was MediaOne, Comcast, and XFinity cable companies stringing 2" diameter overhead cables on the poles well below the State Law limiting ground clearance requirements. They sagged the poles and electric wires so low, delivery trucks could not come up my driveway. Plus, I could no longer get my NH Stack Wagon out into the hay fields because the lines were less than 6 feet off the ground in a few places. Meanwhile DTE (electric utility) found out from my lawsuit, that the cable companies were not paying rent ($1.50 per pole attachment, per 'wire') also as required by State Public Service Commission. That meant over $2M in annual fees were not being paid to DTE, and that was just in my county. They all did this while I was a work without me knowing they were there, which county residents stated was a common practice on their properties.
I found out about it after seeing a 26 ton truck mired out in one of my fields, that no towing company would touch. They tried to borrow one of my tractors to free it (bent the bucket & loader arms beyond repair). The judge ruled that all of them owed me $1000 PER DAY rent of my poles until they were removed, AND none of them were allowed on the property to remove them ! I cut them down by myself after cogitating a week or so on how best to do it.

Then I found out that their trucks broke the waterline to the barn, plugged a field drain, cracked my concrete driveway, rutted the fields, and the truck removal efforts ruined a good part of that field and my fences.

Yes, they are MY poles because there were none there when the house & barns were built, so we had to pay Detroit Edison to bring electricity onto the property. Same for a natural gas line. There are NO utility easements on this property anywhere, even for the road right of way. The County has use of 12' at the road for school bus traffic with my permission, IN WRITING. When I sell this place, there will be 25 $.5M homes here in a PUD, and developers do NOT want unsightly overhead wires of any kind hanging around. All must be buried by zoning rules. BTW: I've already turned down similar offers for the place, so I'm pretty sure of the value. Great schools, access to expressways for commuters, gas at 12,000 ft an crude oil at 15,000 feet. 6 other wells already in operation nearby (One of them just blew up recently, tossing the 'blowout preventer' more than 1/2 a mile away). That's about a mile away.

A tank that stored oil and brine at GM Proving Grounds exploded early Tuesday. The blast was felt from up to 6 miles away.

Cost me $10k in legal fees and I got to kiss my lawyer ! There's even more laughable details, but this is enough for now...

It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. Walking on somebody else property after they improperly built a fence is not a crime in my book.
If it ever comes up say you assumed the fence was on the property line.

Sounds complicated. I’m moving on with my life regardless.
Really a big nothing burger that a few posters are acting like I’m living on the extra 10’ x 100 ft of their land.

That section has always been on the other side of the fence for a long time.

I probably did the neighbor a solid by removing brush next to that section of fence. And keeping limbs off of the fence.

A decent neighbor would go and talk to the owner and let them know what happened and accept what ever comes of it. I've only read the first couple of pages of this and I'm not likely to read the rest.

Be a man and own up to the error of your ways and accept the consequences.

Seems like the logical, reasonable, thing to do
