I was looking to see if G+ had built a "Story" for the trip +Lori Hibbett and I made to Anza-Borrego in March 2012 when we met +Lori Carey, +Elena Northroup, +John H. Moore, +J. Rae Chip, +Angela Andrieux, +Tony Payne, +Cat Evans, +Ron Niebrugge and others (+Kimber The Dog):

I found a G+ Story from our visit from 2011 instead, when we met +Richard Bitonti and +Tom Grubbe. We meet such cool people over the years through photography!
I encountered better wildflower blooms in Anza-Borrego in 2008 and 2009 (https://www.flickr.com/search/?text=Anza%20Borrego&sort=interestingness-desc&user_id=23183960%40N00), but I was travelling in an AWD minivan back then, so we found much cooler locations in the park in 20ll and 2012 after I swapped the van for an 4WD SUV and we could explore more of the park.
I ran across this 2011 trip while wrapping up the Imperial Sand Dunes section for my guidebook yesterday. So many of the photos are turning out a lot better re-edited with the newer "2012 process" now available in +Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.
I think that this Story feature could be really useful, but I couldn't get it to "see" some new edits or photos I uploaded for Imperial Sand Dunes, so I simply have to apologize in advance for some of the edits which are "so four years ago".

nice shots +Jeff Sullivan ... stirring up lots of ideas !!!
+Jeff Bond February is great time to go to Anza-Borrego, as the wildflowers start blooming. I highly recommend it! I've been there four times so far in the Feb/March timeframe. If the wildflower reports start to say that it'll be a good year (after the big rains we had in early December), +Lori Hibbett and I may head down there in a couple of weeks. Hopefully the December rain wasn't too late to kick off a good bloom.
Nice pics.thank you

If you have a chance and remember please give me a heads up if you're going, that sounds awesome I would totally make a trip like that thank you for the great information +Jeff Sullivan
+Jeff Bond Looks promising:
"We have had several reports that there is lot of plant germination in the Borrego Valley. Plants are just beginning to be seen poking through the ground. That bodes well for flowers in another few weeks."

What's a "story"? I'm not on G+ very often anymore. Is this new?
awesome scenery
