Welcome to the demo issue of Prime Paths & Pours (P3). This issue invites you to explore what an issue of P3 will be like. P3 will be a digest of beer hiking, biking, and travel stories from a diverse set of authors. Articles on resources and perspective pieces will also be welcomed.
You are currently on the issue's Table of Contents page... the entry point for the issue. A TOC page like this will be the entry point for all issues.
The first post, "The High-Altitude Hop" is a dummy post to demonstrate common post formatting capabilities. The second post is an example of a story of mine showing the author bio and author skyscraper ad. The remainder are dummy placeholders for this demo issue.
I intend to have no more than one story per author per issue in the actual P3 e-zine once it is launched.
IN THIS ISSUE ....
