Saw it on a previous trip actually Norse, that and another monster tree, maybe a Doug Fir ?
I done the loop road a couple of times on this trip and just relaxed mainly with a few glasses of Vino and read some books, it was hammering down for 20/24 hours a day minimum. I badly needed some me time and a re-charge.
I doubt they ran him off for want of a better term, i'm sure he checks in now and again, who knows. I'd bet you all the tea in China he'd prefer to be active doing stuff with his family or out doing his thing in a forest than being stuck behind a computer answering a million and one questions though..;)
Got to say I trust my own judgement where people are concerned impeccably and i've seen enough over the years to think that the Olympic Project are full of good people, good people who try genuine their best in what they're doing. They may not be everybody's cup of tea but I think they're good, honest people and to me that means more than anything, personally.
What they chose to share or not to share regarding these nests and anything else they're working on right now is completely their choice. They're not some mega secretive group and i'm sure anyone who wants to know about x or y (just talking in general now Norse, not to you) about anything can touch base with them and they'll be as open as they can be.
