Hmmm... the road was built on private property (hence a private road), yet was listed on the map as a county road. Interesting dilemma. No, you can't prove reverse posession, but it sounds like you should be able to prove if it's a township road if there is a number assigned to it on the county

Mark, If your Jeep has a fiberglass or plastic roof, you are missing a ground plane for that antenna. Adhesive copper or aluminum sheeting is available from several suppliers for creating a ground plane. If the roof is metal, the rust-inhibiting coating on the underside may be preventing a good
