Yes, been by there many times, it's between Orin Junction and Manville. But it looks like a normal farm set up. House, barn, couple of out buildings. It's only a couple hundred yards off the main highway.
Never stopped, there's nothing to stop for. haha

I've always wondered how a location with a population of one gets a name. Will have to drive through just to say I've seen it! Somehow I think upping the population to two would be overcrowding.  |

We used to drive by it all the time. When I was a kid I think the population was 5.

Before the Bar burnt down at Moneta,Wyo. It had a population of like 5. On weekends and nights. I seen it sometimes up around 50. And seen many a barmaid and customer (both male and female)dance on them pool tables for money.. I also once seen a dog named "Paco" drink hisself drunk and he got in a fight with one of the customers that was pullin his tail. Bit him several times. They both got throwed out. That was back before the bar burnt down.
Last time I was there, a girl was selling Hawiian Ice's. In front of the burnt bar. That was after the bar burnt down.

Lost Springs has the cleanest public restroom for MILES around! 
Better than Orin Junction by far........also has a nice small playground and pic nic area.
The trick is getting in and out of town over the RR tracks before a really long coal train traps you in Lost Springs for several minutes... 
That highway is part of the old Cheyenne to Deadwood stage road, so there will be alot of traffic on thurs-fri heading north and then on sun-mon coming south.
Lots of Colorado license plates, so watch out! They travel in packs and go really fast.  |

Yep - used to live about 50 miles away. Used to be pop 7 in the 1980's, so must have left grandpa behind.
