- Saturday, January 5, 2008 - Jena, LA
- My stay at Grand Gulf Military Park was ok but not really my style. The campsites in the lower campground where I am are in a bit of a hollow with no views and none of the wildlife I enjoyed so much at Foscue Creek Park in Demopolis AL.

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.
