Pawnee Lake offers sweet autumn journey I’m all for packing meals before road trips. Pawnee Lake is not all that far from Lincoln, but a few morsels could not possibly hurt. A road trip is a road trip, after all, and part of the fun lies in making the journey enjoyable. I finished off a stale peanut butter and jelly sandwich before leaving the parking lot, so I forced a fine glazed doughnut to wait until I pulled off West 0 Street and could watch the almost bare branches of trees swaying while I was munching. Pawnee Lake is probably the closest of the local lakes, so I have made several prior trips. The camping is good as long as there are not many others about, and there is always some place to walk or sit by oneself. While driving, my thoughts typically focus on what I will be doing once I arrive at the lake, so this was the first time I paid more attention to the drive than to the lake itself. Getting out of Lincoln, even if only a few miles away, is always relaxing. Just crossing the O Street viaduct can bring a great sense of release, as if all stresses and deadlines have been left behind, fading quickly in the rearview mirror and falling away from consciousness. I let my eyes play and wander more than usual, roaming from one side of the road to the other, noting all of the places I would like to stop for an afternoon or even for a few minutes. I decided to fill my cars as well, but with the demise of KFMQ, the selection of radio stations in my AM-only car is poor. In KFMQ’s place is some new country station, which seems to have only 20 songs in its entire rotation. Many of those I heard on the drive out and back. Still, it seemed somehow appropriate to listen to country songs while driving to the lake on a fine autumn day, far from the cold of winter - L -mate... * ^ David Badders/DN but just cool enough to enjoy the heater and its warm smell. I drove out in late afternoon, so the sun was glaring at me the whole time and reduced my eyes toa pair of squinting crescents. Once at the lake, the sun’s reflection continued to exert the same influence on me. It called to me even as it pushed me away. I felt as if I had closed my eyes to vast worries and troubles and was looking into the grey-green depths of the lake that promised some great liberating revelation. Much of the lake can be seen from the road, but sitting in or on one’s car does not satisfy. I wanted to walk about, to feel everything rather than merely watching it. I felt like wandering through the hills and reaching Lincoln at dawn after a night-long walk, feeling the bend of legs, the crunch and rustle of dry grass, cool hands stuffed in pock ets. After sitting on the hood of my car, I moved into the grass and watched the impossibly long shadows of evening engulf me. I might have sat at the lake all night, but once in the car, I might also have driven it all night. Even gravel roads seem sublime on an autumn evening, despite the ridiculous speed bumps someone had set up. Before returning to the pavement, I saw a sign advertising honey for sale so I pulled onto a gravel driveway nearly as wide as the road. Six dogs unleashed an unholy furor, but only one was loose. He seemed nice enough, but I treaded carefully and thought it must be some kind of honey. I paid a dollar for my jar and left, trying not to run over the dog who circled my car. Dipping my finger into the jar and realizing I might be late for an event that evening, I soon began to regret the return to Lincoln. But the honey was sweetly transporting, and it is, as Leonard Woolf wrote, the journey, not the arrival, that matters.
