Lost Springs

A small town in Wyoming named Lost Springs. Photo taken in August, 2000:

The sign was changed after the 2000 census:

A report from May, 2010:
There were a few buildings, including the post office/general store, a municipal building, and a small town park.
When we are about to leave, we see a woman drive into town. We find out that it is the postmaster. She doesn't live in the town. A few minutes later, two other people show up. We find out that they are in the town because it is a convenient place for one to give the other a kitten. They don't live there either. So there are five people in this town with a census population of '1' and none of them live there!
The postmaster was able to tell us a little bit about the town. It turns out that the population is actually three. The mayor runs a catering business. One of the other residents is on the town council, but the other is not.
