DARYL L. CAMPBELL and SHARON CAMPBELL, Plaintiffs-Appellants, vs. HENRY L. DEGRAW and ANNETTE M. DEGRAW, Defendants-Appellees, and RAYMOND RIDOUT and BETTY RIDOUT, Intervenors. ________________________________________________________________

Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Adair County, Gregory A. Hulse, Judge.

Plaintiffs appeal the district courts decision in this action involving a boundary dispute. AFFIRMED.

Martin L. Fisher, Adair, for appellants. Arnold O. Kenyon, II, Creston, for appellees. Jeffrey N. Bump of Bump & Bump, Panora, for intervenors.

Considered by Sackett, C.J., and Eisenhauer and Doyle, JJ.

2 DOYLE, J. Following a bench trial, Daryl and Sharon Campbell appeal from the district courts ruling that concluded they did not prove a boundary by acquiescence because they failed to establish by clear evidence the existence of a definite and certain line capable of ascertainment. The district court must be affirmed if substantial evidence supports its finding. N.W.2d 167, 170 (Iowa 1997). A boundary line may be established by showing adjoining landowners or their predecessors in title have acquiesced in a boundary line for more than ten years. Iowa Code
