Pre-Phase
The Gathering
Building the founding community
Before a single stake is driven, we gather the people. Our first milestone is 5,000 supporters — a measurable objective that must be met before Phase 0 begins.
The Pilgrim's Road
Roadmap
One road, five waystations — from the first survey stake driven into Wyoming soil to a walled village with bells ringing over the plains.
