p.1 #1 · Exact Location of Sky Rock Petroglyphs Tagged in Google Earth

I noticed tonight that Google Earth is now showing the exact location of the Sky Rock Petroglyphs, which have been photographed by Galen Rowell and numerous other great photographers but generally not revealed where they are. Every posted image of the spot that I've seen has declined to publicly say where it is. Now, unfortunately, any vandal with a computer now can easily discover among the greatest petroglyphs in California, and arguably in a much larger area. Other nearby petroglyphs have been stolen.

I encourage you to report the image, which shows up in both the browser version of Google Maps and also the desktop version of Google Earth, at http://www.360cities.net/flag_image/sky-rock-petroglyphs-california?utm_source=google_earth&utm_medium=all_images. A bigger of the version can be viewed here.

Below is not my image, but this shows how amazing the spot it is and why it needs to be protected:

AMEN! I think it would also be wise to contact the person directly, if possible.
