Steve оwned а 2,000-аcre trаct оf remоte and unimproved mountain land. Aspen Lane, a public road, adjoined the south side of Steve’s property. It was virtually impossible for Steve to access the east half of his land from Aspen Lane because the portion of his land that adjoined the Lane was a vertical 200-foot high cliff. Accordingly, when Steve wanted to travel to the east half of his land, which occurred about once each month, he normally rode a horse through the west half of his land to reach the east half. Over time, Steve’s travel in this manner created a faint but discernible trail from the Lane, across the west half, and onto the east half. Steve decided to sell the west half of his land to Barbara. The deed that Steve delivered to Barbara provided, in part: “I hereby convey the west half of the tract to Barbara, reserving an easement for access across the path on the west half to reach the east half.” Attached to the deed were correct legal descriptions of the west half and the east half. After closing of escrow, Barbara said to Steve: “I’m sure that I’ll see you on occasion when you cross through my land.” Steve considered building a stairway up the cliff from Aspen Lane to reach his land but ultimately decided not to do so because his easement across Barbara’s land would provide adequate access. Steve rode his horse across Barbara’s land once a month for six months until Barbara sent him this email: “Steve: My attorney advises me that you do not have any right to cross my land. Please do not do so in the future. Sincerely, Barbara.” Steve sued Barbara for a declaratory judgment that he had a right to cross her land. Assume the jurisdiction requires strict necessity for an easement by necessity. What is the most likely theory on which the court will rule for Steve?
