The village of Buford in Wyoming has only one inhabitant -- 60-year-old Don Sammons -- the Daily Mail reported. But even though he lives 8,000ft up a cold mountain, Mr. Sammons denies feeling lonely in the one-man hamlet where he runs an isolated petrol station and convenience shop.

Mr. Sammons left Los Angeles in 1980 with his wife for the tiny town of six buildings to escape their busy lifestyle. When the couple arrived, there were seven people in Buford, working for a railroad that passes nearby, but they had moved away by the mid-1990s. Mr. Sammons' wife died 15 years ago and his son, now aged 26, moved to Colorado three years ago leaving him in Buford on his own. He gets about 1,000 visitors a day to the village during the summer, but this drops to around 100 during the winter.

美小村子仅住一人

       据英国《每日邮报》报道，在美国怀俄明州一个名叫布福德的小村子仅有一位居民，即60岁的唐·萨蒙斯。尽管他住的这村子坐落在海拔8000英尺（约2438米）寒冷的山上，他依然不觉得孤单。他在此经营着一家加油站和便利店。

       1980年，萨蒙斯先生和夫人为了远离喧嚣的都市，离开洛杉矶来到这个只有6栋房子的小镇。萨蒙斯夫妇刚搬来时，小镇上还住着7个人，他们是附近铁路上的工人，但到90年代中期都搬离了这个小镇。15年前，他夫人去世。他今年26岁的儿子也在3年前搬到了科罗拉多州。因此，现在的布福德就住着萨蒙斯先生自己。夏季的时候，他的加油站和便利店一天可以迎来1000名顾客，但冬天就只有100多人了。
