Feel like getting away from it all? Then consider moving to Buford, Wyoming, where just one man, Don Sammons, comprises the town's entire population. The ' Today ' show profiled Sammons and his determination to keep his town alive.

Sammons left Los Angeles 20 years ago and moved to Buford when it had a total of seven residents. Now, he's the lone occupant in the quiet town, which has only a single paved road running past its abandoned schoolhouse.

Buford once boasted 2,000 residents and was a bustling railroad town. Over the past 90 years, residents moved west and the population dwindled. Still, Sammons keeps the homefires burning.

"I'm here because I want to be here," says Sammons, who runs the Buford Trading Post , the town's grocery store, hardware store and liquor store. He also owns the town's only snowplow and tow truck.

Buford may not go on forever: "I am getting to the point where I'm thinking about retirement," he admits. "I don't know what's going to happen to Buford when I decide to retire."
