             ***    The Preston Mountain Club doesn't seem to mind the land 
being taken for AT buffer. The main conflict is whether or not the land 
belonged to the Tribe. So, if it did belong to the Tribe they aren't owed any money 
anyway, so the 10 years waiting for payment is moot. 

          I don't know what the Tribe's legal grounds are for claiming the 
condemned land post-decision. I suppose they would be weak considering the 
buffer is already designated and in possession. The real issue would be who gets 
the money then...
