Baker owns a home adjacent to Blackacre, a 2,000 acre farm. Baker discovered that if he cut across the back of Blackacre, he could reach the Interstate highway much quicker than if he used his own driveway. In fact, when Baker used his driveway, the Interstate was 4 miles away. Taking a shortcut through Blackacre cuts three and one-half miles off the trip. Old Macdonald knows that Baker cuts
across his land almost every workday and sometimes on weekends but does not appear to object. Baker has even worn a path over the land. After all, he has been taking the shortcut over Blackacre for the last 23 years. One day, old MacDonald blocks the path being used by Baker and tells him he may no longer cut across Blackacre. Baker files a lawsuit. Who wins? Explain the rights of the parties. What will be an ideal response?
