WY registered agent

Wyoming, free, eight seconds, then the horn

This is the whole page and the whole state. The state's remedies come first, because that is the part of the ride most people do not see coming. Then the statute, the yearly charge and the rest, in the state's words.

What the state does when the rider is gone

The remedies, in the code's words. We added nothing, which is consistent with what we charge.

The Wyoming yearly charge, which is not free

Every year Wyoming sends a bill to keep the company on the books. This is the bill. It is the one thing on this page that costs money, and we are not the ones collecting it.

Wyoming, from the top rail

The state is mostly open ground with a fence around some of it. We have seen these places from the top rail of a chute, which is the best seat in the state and also free.

Bighorn Canyon

A thousand feet of wall and a river at the bottom. Falling in takes about eight seconds, same as our service.

Fort Laramie

Whitewashed buildings on the plain, staffed for a century and a half. Our office is whitewashed too, in the sense that there is nothing on the walls.

The most photographed barn in the country, with nobody in it. We understand the appeal.

Hot water building a staircase nobody climbs. The building costs nothing and takes forever. Our business model.

the Crookston Ranch ruins

A stone house and a corral that outlasted the people who built them. The corral is roughly the shape of our filing system.

$129 a year stays in your pocket. The horse gets nothing either.
