GUNNISON COUNTY — The cold is just the cold.
That’s nothing, says Sunderlin, 78.
But Robbins and Sunderlin, they only find harsh reminders.
The song they sang: "We’re in our places with sun-shining faces …" And, oh yes, the cold.
"If you’re older than 65, and you’re local, you remember it," Primus says.
"Not that many in the big picture," Primus says.
It wasn’t only fishing that put Iola on the map.
"That summer, we went ahead and put the hay up, baled it and sold it all.
The year before, this was still the home ranch."
The thought lingers for a moment, silence but for the cold wind.
