thank you Elle!
Signal, WY
Signal, WY does not exist.
From the Wyoming information page GoWyld.net:
"Other locations mentioned in the movie do exist, such as Riverton, Casper, and Lightning Flat. Lightning Flat is a discontinued post office in Crook County. On the other hand, the town of Signal, does not exist. "

Shell, WY
It ends also with an "L". Then Laramie would still fit. But I don't own a National Geographic Road Atlas of the US, and Shell is a very tiny place. So Meryl should check my suggestion.
BTW: Shell, WY can be found in the German Wikipedia, but not in the English one. Strange, isn't it?
