Even if the Torrens bar were absent, IRA’s recreational use fails the “adverse and hostile” requirement. Jurisdictions are split. This Court follows the for unenclosed wildlands (see Goddard v. Milligan , 2005). The Strip, being unfenced and located on a barrier island with only seasonal human traffic, is analogous to a “public recreational passage.” Without evidence of enclosure, cultivation, or explicit warning to the owner, such use is presumed to be licensed by the owner’s silence — not adverse. The removal of Coastal’s 2002 sign strengthens IRA’s conduct as disruptive, but does not retroactively convert 39 prior years of passive recreation into adverse use.
