Dipping in and out of the (of necessity) shadowy marijuana culture, for a few short months, Sohumborn provided the North Coast with vivid stories about a world that most people have been unable to comprehend.

In the last couple of weeks, several Humboldt bloggers ( Raincrow and Ekovox) have chosen to step back from the very public world of online blogging.  Last night, Sohumborn, that talented and thoughtful writer deleted her blog leaving a empty, gaping hole where her fictional stories had provided a 3 dimensional glimpse into another very real world.

She left a brief note on another post of mine and I’m transfering it here.

I will deeply miss my blog. I have gained so much from the exchanges with each and every one of you. I knew all along that this may be a short term hobby. I will continue to write and I hope to offer my stories again someday in a new forum. Thank you all so much for a providing a wonderful respite from the daily grind. I must concentrate on my offline life for a while, please forgive me.

Her stories though are not dead.  Once something is on the internet it lives forever.  If anyone wants to access them, they just have to google —          site:sohumborn.wordpress.com sohumborn at the end  of each entry is a blue link Cached.  Clicking the link will take you to a stored version of her story.  It may not be the most uptodate but each link accesses a treasure of words that have given so much insight into the culture here and so much pleasure to her readers.

I am going to try and transfer the comments people have left on that earlier blog for her to this one but I’m a bit unsure of the best way to do it so feel free to leave advice.

UPDATE: Sohumborn left a message on Rose’s blog at 3/06/2009 7:39 PM .  You can see it in the comments below also as I’ve transfered it.
