WY registered agent
Wyoming, $4 a year, current position unknown
One state and one page, in the order the wind arranged them. Where we stand comes first, because it is the shortest section. Then what the state does about an agent that is gone, and the rest in the state's words.
Where we stand on this
Against a fence, somewhere east of where we were.
What the state does when the agent has rolled on
The remedies, in the code's own words. We have added nothing to them, and nothing is what we carry.

The Wyoming yearly charge, last

Places we have blown through
A tumbleweed sees a lot of the state and none of it on purpose. These are places the wind has taken us, or would, with a photograph from someone who stopped.
the Hayden Valley
Bison on open grass, going nowhere at a steady pace. We admire the pace and cannot match the going nowhere.

the Lower Falls of the Yellowstone
Three hundred feet of river deciding to leave all at once. Our forwarding policy, with better scenery.

Register Cliff
Emigrants carved their names in the chalk on the way through. We were on the way through too. We did not stop to carve.

the Pryor Mountain wild horses
Three horses on dry range with nowhere to be. Colleagues, in the loose sense.

the Firehole River
Fast water between dark walls, warm from the springs. It also goes wherever the ground tilts, and charges nothing.
