WY registered agent
Wyoming, $10 a year, at elevation
The route card for Wyoming. The statute is the first pitch, because it is the one everybody skips. Then the rule for lawsuits nobody can deliver, the yearly charge and the rest, in the state's own words. Ours are kept to the margin, where the grade is.
The first pitch: what the state asks of an agent

The Wyoming yearly charge
Every year Wyoming sends a bill to keep the company on the books. This is the bill. Not paying it is a saving, the way we are a saving, and it lasts about one season on the mountain.

What the state does when the agent cannot be reached
The remedies, in the code's own words, none added. Adding to a route card gets people hurt.

The high country, from the ledge
The state has more ledges than desks and the sheep have most of them. These are the ones people photograph, from the direction people can reach.
the bighorn sheep
A ram, up close, entirely unbothered by the drop. The company mascot, in the sense that it is also not at the office.

Bighorn Canyon
A thousand feet of wall above the river, seen from the rim. The office is on the rim. The rim is on the far side.

the Medicine Wheel
Stone spokes laid out on a mountain top a very long time ago by people who did not file with anyone. We admire the precedent.

the Bighorn National Forest
Pines and meadow at eight thousand feet, where the sheep go in summer and the mail does not.

the Tongue River country
Forested slopes running down toward the river on the east side of the range. Somewhere in there is a road, and at the end of the road is not us.
