OP. You have no claim to the property by adverse possession. You might might have a claim by prescriptive easement. The requirement for a prescriptive easement is spelled out by your state (it appears you live in MA, so the requirement is 20 years of proof you have been using this route).
Your neighbor owns a tract of land and all you jerks have been cutting across private property instead of using the public roads because trespassing is more convenient? You have public access to your homes. Use it instead of trespassing or trying to force adverse possession or an easement. You sound like a awful person.
Since FL is not a state where you have a right to access unposted land, the owner would be clearly in their rights to record and document the trespass of everyone involved and go to the police or district attorney and have criminal charges filed when they find out about your little scheme.
I think in the 3 hours between the OP and yours, the OP discovered that no one else thought the idea was good, honorable or fair, and dropped out and disappeared, never to come back in that identity.
No, I think the OP got worried that someone would dig up her identity and notify the landowner so he could prepare to fight that horrible gang of asset-devaluers. I hope she killed the account too late.
Adverse possession is used in downright evil ways.
BTW, the OP can still read C-D just fine! Cannot post unless a member in good standing. But look at the byline under her handle. Smells like it came from under a low bridge.
Just because there are not NO TRESPASSING signs does not mean it's OK.
I wish I knew who the owner of the land is so I could send them a heads up and they could put a nice three strand barb wire fence across there.

Stop trying to steal your neighbor's land (yes, I know an easement is not possession, but how much is the land worth once there's an easement cutting right across it?)

So, there is 10 neighbors that live on a public dead end road and we all have have access to our homes by means of the public road. However, there is a large parcel of privately owned land and because of convenience and the way the roads are situated - its much more convenient for neighbors to cut across this privately owned land to access our homes.
All 10 neighbors have been doing this. All have been traversing this parcel by means of walking, automobile, or bicycle and doing so, unobstructed for over 10 years or longer to the point where a dirt road is imprinted across said parcel. No signs have ever been posted to stay off the land, no gates, no warning letters sent.
Is it possible to take this " Right of way " by adverse possession?
I was thinking to manufacture a RIGHT OF WAY EASEMENT Document granting all neighbors right of passage across this parcel. In the document, state each neighbors name and history with length of time used and noting that they never saw tresspass signs posted ever. Having everyone sign in the presence of a notary and record the document to the deed?
Occurring in Hillsborough County, Tampa Florida
Any input is greatly appreciated?
Disgusting.
