I offer free land on our Global Stewardship foundation’s property to any person or persons on this forum truly interested in a hands-on opportunity to help make a better world.
More on our agenda if you are interested.
Can I build an atomic submarine factory on it? or sell it to some other atomic war vehicle manufacturer? I get the feeling there are strings attached to this ‘free’ land. Something about the word “truly” makes me wonder. . .
I have always wanted to to take a trip under the polar ice cap. Long as there are no nuclear warheads aboard, be my guest. There will be some launching problems though, from the middle of the Nevada desert.
“Truly” encompasses sincerity and constructive creativity, related to sound global stewardship. We area research and development foundation. All creative ideas are welcome.

I miss the White Mountains
its not free land since it come with a price tag. One would have to follow the social values of the community, that is a price.
Also if you wish to be ecologic why are you not in the foothills? The labrynth of caverns within the mountains of both the White and silver make for more ecologically sound housing. Labratories can be set up in the valley but, residence would make better sense in the caves . The chance to do research in the cave systems for survival of climate changes would be well worth the effort. The wet cave systems would provide so much information.
Sounds like an ex- Fish Lake Valley man speaking. Either that or Bishop or Tonapah.
That is the price everyman has to pay where ever he lives. Question is - do you prefer the cesspits of the over-burdened city sewerage systems or the open desert and high mountains. Our small community is based on family values. You can’t get any more simple or more natural than that. We have no pompous philosophy other than good stewardship.
We have used adobe and rock to build on the valley floor and are consequently naturally insulated against the extremes of weather. We have been here 15 years. I have hiked the mountains all that time and have never heard of the labyrinth of the caves. Nor have any of the locals who have been here forever mentioned them. I feel like an idiot. Either that or you are talking about some other White and Silver ranges. Please send directions. Better still. come as a guide
Adobe and rock are fine but, they still leave an ecological footprint. Any communal residence will change the atmosphere and ecology of that area. Building where there are no buildings creates change.
The mountains were created by volcanic action and earthquakes. Miners would run into natural caverns and systems in those mountains all the time. Underground streams were the bane of miners. These streams were crystal clear or mineralized.
You can go to a library and find maps of old claims in those mountains. That should start you off. Or if you feel adventurous you follow a stream up to its head, you could do a systematic search for cave openings in that area. Generally they are hard to see and easily missed but, patience will bear fruit. Cave entrances are rarely large. Most entrances are about 2’ high or wide. if not less or a little more. Rocky out croppings are good places to look. Don’t go alone, leave a plannned map of where you intend to be and do not deviate from it and be prepared for critturs deadly and gentle. Make sure you take gadgets that allow you to measure the air quality, there are gas pockets.
Thank you for the offer but, I and my husband are busy guiding our family here in Miss. Trust me that is a full time job and then some. Its a job that pays in love.
Sorry about the gender mistake, ma’am. 
You are far too much the purist for my taste
Hard to find accommodation for 6 billion by returning back to the caves. Nature is all about change and adaptation and we are after- all creatures of Nature. I am an opponent of urban sprawl. We must go up, not out. This includes high-rise farming.
Thanks for the info, will check it out and let you know.
Most areas in the world have cave systems or can make suitable caves. It is not more expensive then building a regular community. The technology and equipments already exist. To build underground there is a simple way to do that, use rammed earth technology, it is based upon Adobe but, far stronger. Check it out on the net. Rammed earth homes underground where there are no suitable caves is something your group may wish to investigate. There are variations depending upon the earth that surrounds you.
Not a problem on the gender thing or the age thing, I happen to be 44, if you wish to call me young then I guess I will just have to force myself to believe it 
At the moment all our existing buildings have dug-out basements for bedrooms and pantries, even a full-scale racquetball court.
We have one rammed-earth building in the valley at the moment.
Our 40 acre property is situated in the middle of a dry lake bed. The silt pack is 80 foot deep. One of our future programs is to excavate ten acres or so down to that depth and cover the top with translucent fiber glass geodesic dome. Apartments will be carved out of the 80 foot cliff faces with boulevards and garden spaces in between each section. All sewerage will be pumped to surface reservoirs for purification and recycling. The finished complex will create multi-level earth insulated accommodation and recreation for a large community, possibly an old age center, complete with its own medical facilities. Our building costs are projected to be 1% (yes ONE) of what it would cost in a city. Energy consumption will be one third that of a surface complex.
The recovered adobe will fire enough bricks to build a circular chimney city, 5000 feet high, one mile in circumference, employing atmospheric thermal energy technology (ATEC) to generate electricity and condense water vapor for consumption. It will accommodate forested parks, streams, waterfalls and tree-lined boulevards. Every penthouse home with its own greenhouse orchard and garden. (Definitely not to be seen in my life-time - but on the drawing boards anyway and good future focus for the kids. Oh yes, did I tell you that I was a megalomaniac?)
Young enough to be my daughter anyway. My eldest son was born in '62.
Sounds like a good plan, What is your plan for when that lake bed floods and becomes a lake again? Might I suggest getting hold of a number of old mining stakes and create safe havens incase of dire need? It will serve for other needs too. All mines are not played out. This could give your community access to more funds and material. Expansion of mines are not hard, creating safe functioning havens with in is not hard.
You live in a lake bed… Darlin the weather is changing, your grandkids might get flooded out.
Warning noted. Must check out those old mines. Hundreds of them.
The water table is below 100 feet. I would say that it would take another Ice Age to fill the lake again.
Be glad you all do not have caliche for ground. Water does not absorb into it. That caused most of Tucson’s flooding.
Lots of rain and snow will be coming down more and more every year in part of the country, You have been paying attention to national weather right? The Ice age is coming after the floods and droughts. Oh sure you and I will be dead but hey, to time, it will be here in but a moment. Yippeee, skippeee 
Annual snow pack has been getting steadily smaller. Been my only worry. Hopefully it gets back to normal. Our valley is the largest aquifer in the Great Desert Basin. Alfalfa farmers here keep sucking the precious desert blood like gang bangers. We are trying to get farming under cover and get them to go for deciduous dried and canned fruit instead of lucern. Also trying to get our geothermal potential operational. Lots of work before the ice age hits us. Current economic sunami might well be even more disastrous once the full gale force hits us all. No laughing matter there.
Cheers
Then build water traps. I am sure that there are instructions on the net someplace. I learned how to make small ones when I was a kid, my folks taught us how to survive in the desert alone. I am sure you can build large social ones Your temperatures changes are rather dramatic. You can trap condensation in phenomenal amounts if its done right. Check into it,If you all work on it you might be able to come up with some interesting ecologically sound alternatives.
Good advise, kris.
