I'm driving down south to visit a couple of possible lots either tonight, or tomorrow night.
If you're interested in coming along, let me know and we'll go together. Here are the lots I'll be visiting:

This lot is selling for $3200 for 1 acre, but he seems willing to go down a bit. It would take a little money to get the power and water to the lot, but not as much as in some areas. The landscape is not terribly exciting, at least from the pictures: mostly scrub oak. But because it's so cheap, it's worth visiting. It's also very close, only 45 minute drive from Provo.
This lot is under contract at $7000. If the sale fails, then we would have an opportunity to buy it if we liked it. It is steep, but a very beautiful lot.

This lot is more expensive, he's asking ($29,900), but he's already done most of the prep work. The septic is in, the power and water are at the house, the plans are approved and the building permit it secured. And, he seems somewhat flexible on price. This would really jump start the project to have all that work already done.

I'm excited to hear how things went and what you liked! Do you think we should pick the lot first and then see how much everyone is contributing?
By the way, I think Ryan would make a good treasurer if we are going to nominate people. I'll have to email him and see if that's something he'd be up for doing.
I have no idea how to help with things at this point, because I don't know anything about what land would be good or options for building, but I am checking this book out at the library:
"How to Build Your Dream Cabin in the Woods: The Ultimate Guide to Building and Maintaining a Backcountry Getaway"
A review on Amazon said:
"for those of us beginning the process of seriously considering what kind of cabin we want, where to put it, and the basics of design, we find a well-written and genuinely useful book. "
Maybe I'll be able to help more once I know a little more...
