[pct-l] Warner Springs Ranch in escrow

[Tortoise]

Up here in Crescent City, one rancheria (tribe) bought some land a few 
years ago and then had the land taken into trust by the BIA (or 
something like that) so they could build a "destination resort" 
including a casino. So that tribe may be able to have it taken into 
trust and then add a casino.

The tribe up here also owns and runs a golf course and bowling alley.

FWIW
