WY registered agent
Wyoming, $3 a year, coming to a mailbox near you
In a world of fifty states, one state. Wyoming. The courthouse first, because that is where the drama goes when we are not in, then our position, then the rule, then the rest. The state wrote the long lines. We wrote the loud ones.

The yearly charge in Wyoming
Once a year the state sends a bill that keeps the company on the books. The amount is below. In a world where you skip it, the saving is real for a while. The while is also below.
Yearly charge, LLC

Locations, in a world of one state
A trailer needs landscapes, and one state has a planet's worth: a butte full of fossils, hot water out of the ground, the line where the rivers change their minds, a tower and an arch. Photographed by people who stayed long enough to focus.
Fossil Butte
In a world fifty million years ago, a lake. Now a butte with the lake's fish still inside it. Older than our company by a wide margin, and better documented.

the Continental Divide
In a world with two oceans, this is the line that decides. Rain on one side goes one way and rain on the other goes the other. Our mail has no such policy.

Devils Tower
A column of rock standing over the plain like a poster for something bigger. It was billed as the first national monument. We are billed as three dollars.

the Old Faithful Inn
In a world of log gables, one inn stood taller than the timber around it. It has a lobby. We have a state. Both are yours for the looking.

Canary Spring
In a world of terraces, cream and rust, holding pools of blue. The water built all this without an office. We took notes.
