Opinion by

Judge MacPhail,

Wayne S. Williams (Appellant) here appeals from an order of the Court of Common Pleas of Luzerne County affirming a decision of the Salem Township Zoning Hearing Board (Board) that the Appellant had abandoned the use of his land as a junkyard, which use was nonconforming, and that he was not entitled to a variance to resume such use. Appellant *636avers that there was insufficient evidence presented to support these findings and that the Board placed undue emphasis on some evidence while capriciously disregarding other evidence. We will affirm the trial court.
