WY registered agent
Wyoming, $33 a year, from up here
This is Wyoming. Most of it is below us. The state wrote the parts that matter and wrote them carefully, down there, where the desks are. Our parts are short. There is not much air for long ones.
The courthouse. Where papers go when they cannot get up here.

Where we are
Up. A fair way. The address is below. We can see roughly where.
The yearly bill, Wyoming
A bill comes every year. It keeps the company on the books. The amount is below. Skip it and the money stays with you a while. Then the state notices. It is a long way down for a bill, and it takes a while.

Things at about our altitude
The office is roughly where the sky is. These are the parts of the state that come closest to it, photographed by people who went up and, unlike us, came back down.
Beartooth Pass
A road that goes up until it runs out of reasons. Cars stop at the top and people get out and look. That is the whole service up there too.

the Bighorn Mountains
A ridge, a meadow, more ridge. Somewhere up there is the crest and somewhere up there is us. Neither has come down to check on the other.

Fremont Peak
Granite, lit pink for a minute in the morning. That is about the pace of things up here. One minute, pink, then the day.

Pilot and Index Peaks
Two peaks, one pointing, one just there. We are the second one. It has never pointed at anything and it is doing fine.

Vedauwoo
Piles of old rock in a green field, arranged by nobody, going nowhere. The office is somewhere behind the third pile, or the fourth. It is not urgent.

$96. Yours. Every year. Carry it up or leave it down there, either is fine.
Or read the summit page first. It is not far. Nothing is, from here.
