My personal ethic dovetails with Craig and Smoke's, as well as Ski3pin & others. GPS or map descriptions of many places on the beaten path are not significant. However, everytime I find something unique or likely to be disturbed by too much human interest, I neglect to give specific location information. I have been to Marble Canyon a few times, even photographed the 'flying saucer' petroglyphs twice on different trips - Along with hundreds of other people. There are other petroglyphs, ruins and delicate natural ecosystems that I do not post any geolocation information about, or if it is very unique, I may occasionally post misleading geolocation information.
I believe a trip report is mostly about celebrating a way of life and warning others of hazards along the way. I do not understand why, for example, anyone would want to go to a feature like 'The Wave' or Zabriski Point, along with dozens to hundreds of others to do, see and photograph the same thing over and over. But the more people that are at those high use areas, the fewer there are in the barely known back of beyond areas.
Besides, I do love to see the interesting remote places like-minded people have been and what they did there.
