If they did not have Duke's permission to do the extensive upgrades (and it appears that they didn't), I'm amazed at their arrogance and disregard of property rights. All I can figure is that someone in this group thought if they spent a period of time maintaining the property, they could claim in the future that they have access across the property through adverse possession. I believe the obvious liability issue along with the adverse possession issue is why Duke has acted.
