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.

美小村子僅住一人

?????? 據(jù)英國《每日郵報》報道，在美國懷俄明州一個名叫布福德的小村子僅有一位居民，即60歲的唐·薩蒙斯。盡管他住的這村子坐落在海拔8000英尺（約2438米）寒冷的山上，他依然不覺得孤單。他在此經(jīng)營著一家加油站和便利店。

?????? 1980年，薩蒙斯先生和夫人為了遠離喧囂的都市，離開洛杉磯來到這個只有6棟房子的小鎮(zhèn)。薩蒙斯夫婦剛搬來時，小鎮(zhèn)上還住著7個人，他們是附近鐵路上的工人，但到90年代中期都搬離了這個小鎮(zhèn)。15年前，他夫人去世。他今年26歲的兒子也在3年前搬到了科羅拉多州。因此，現(xiàn)在的布福德就住著薩蒙斯先生自己。夏季的時候，他的加油站和便利店一天可以迎來1000名顧客，但冬天就只有100多人了。
