I would expand that though. Abuse of an easement are grounds for its termination. That sounds nice but is very difficult to do. I would start creating a record with very specific documentation and letters to both the lessor and lessee. Keep documenting and writing letters. Eventually, it either stops or you have grounds to terminate, but it will take patience and perseverance since it is disfavored. </div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Steve</div><div><br></div><div class="ydp72be88d3signature"><div style="color: black; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div style="color: black; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-style:italic;font-weight:700;color:mediumblue;">Stephen Whitehouse</span><div><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 205);font-style:italic;font-weight:700;">Whitehouse & Nichols, LLP</span></div><div><span style="font-style:italic;font-weight:700;">P.O.
