After commissioning these stories, we here at Coast Mountain Culture still aren’t quite sure what it means to be lost. Which could mean that, well, we’re lost. Which is perfect, right?

In this latest issue of CMC, we offer stories that extend beyond the most straight-forward meaning of the word “lost.” Things unexpected. Tangents. Weirdness! We lose ourselves in the Stone Age for awhile. We travel to jungles, volcanos and horse race tracks. We ask the question, “what animals deserve to be saved if we can’t save them all.” Essentially this issue of Coast Mountain Culture is adrift in stories from the lost corners of mountain culture. And we think you’ll find them to be awesome.
