I found it 20 years ago but didn't hike all the way out as signs prevent trepassing. But it was cool just standing there, camera or not, to think of how many people had been there over the decades and to have been one of the first settlers who found it. I doubt they said, "Damn, honey where's the camera?" They had survival at stake.
My personal favorite is View of the Sierra (Mountains) at Sunrise from Lone Pine. And yes, I only have a large poster print, but it's still worth it to me.

I read an article a few years ago, or maybe it was a radio piece, about Hernandez, NM, and my impression was that the residents of the town were becoming a little tired of the attention from photographers and had put up fences to make the place less photogenic and less identifiable from the road.
personally I look forward to carrying my 20x24 and 10 holders to the top of half dome

I always wanted to go by there, next time I am down in that area I will have to remember to stop and see the lovely ------orange trucks.
Isn't that a major purpose of photography? To show how things looked at a specific moment in time, before things changed? Apart from the literally countless photographic examples, see Eliot Porter's introduction to his b&w book (I forget the title), or Edward Abbey's essay "How it Was".
