The Bishop Chamber of Commerce and the Bureau of Land Management have actively been trying to keep the location of lesser known petroglyph sites (i.e. excluding those on the BLM advertised "Petroglyph Drive on Fish Slough Rd.) off of popular webpages in light of recent thefts of petroglyphs involving rock saws, and have even gone as far as asking bloggers to remove the exact location of the rock in order to protect it from possible vandalism. While I feel that these sites should be shared, it should be in a way to protect these, instead of shouting it to the masses. It's fine to share the location with trusted friends who you know won't harm the site, but please consider before you post a very detailed description to its location on an easily accessible and fast-growing website where people with malicious intentions may find it.
