The yearly bill from Wyoming

Once a year the state sends a bill that keeps the company on the books. The amount is below. Skip it and the saving is real for about as long as the company is.

Territory we have pitched from

One guy, one phone, most of a sky. These are the high points of the territory, the places where the signal drops and the pitch gets shorter. Photographed by people with both hands free.

Togwotee Pass

Nearly ten thousand feet with a highway over the top. We closed a client on the shoulder up there once, engine running, one bar of signal. Done by the second switchback down.

the Wind River Range

The biggest wall in the state, and it does not care who is selling. Glaciers, granite, a hundred miles of it. We list it as a feature of the territory, which it is, and we did not build it, which we admit.

the Bighorn Mountains

Off to the east, and they look easy from the highway. They are not easy. Neither is the deal, but we make both look it, which is the job.

Grand Teton

The one on the postcard. Everyone under this sky sells the view of it. We are the only ones selling it at twenty-one dollars, and the mountain has not objected.

Paintbrush Divide

The canyon drops away under your boots and the peaks stand there like they have a deal for you. They do. So do we, and ours is twenty-one.
