Camped along Mule Creek Road, Guthrie AZ, March 29, 2008

I'm camped for the night along Mule Creek Road (AZ 78) in the Apache - Sitgreaves National Forest, about 11 miles east of Guthrie AZ and a mile west of the Arizona / New Mexico border.

Primitive camping along Mule Creek Road

After having spent the night in the first rest area west of the New Mexico border when I came through here a couple of weeks ago I discovered the next morning on my journey down off the plateau there are several really nice primitive campgrounds a few miles farther west that I would have preferred to stay at. I'm at one of them now.

The SEEKING Circuit

This part of the brain starts firing when the animal sees a sign that food might be nearby but stops firing when the animal sees the actual food itself. The SEEKING circuit fires during the search for food, not during the final locating or eating of the food. It's the search that feels so good.
