""Buddy Lane, a caving enthusiast who at the auction bought a lot he believed to contain a cave, said the Southeastern Cave Conservancy may negotiate with the land trusts to buy other cave-rich acreage, and may also bid on Preserve land at another tax sale to be held in May.
And Lane said the cavers might also be interested in land now tied up in a bankruptcy filed Dec. 28 by TAS, a company owned by one of the Southern Group partners."

It doesn't say Buddy bought it with his own personal funds... FYI, Buddy is the TREASURER for the SCCI... He also speaks for the SCCI in the article.
But of course we know the SCCI likes to be secretive so nothing interferes with what they are planning. Either way Southern Group has one year and one day to pay their back taxes plus 20% to reclaim their land... So don't go jumping for joy just yet. It will be at least that much time before the SCCI or the Lake Lula Trust legally own free and clear what they purchased. As cavers, we should also stay away from this property until it's official... I am glad it's a purchase and not a lease.

Once the dust settles I think we're going to have a nice place to visit.... I hope at least.
