[CH] Open Fields questions

It is looking pretty likely that I will be able to clear enough time off
from work to be Indiana bound for the festivities and I am mighty
excited. Finally, I will be able to come to chile Mecca and commune in
person with El Grande and a bunch of those who share my pleasant
addiction, many of whom I've known, but never seen, for years via this
list. I mostly lurk here, since I have no recipes to share and no garden
to talk about, but I do consider capsicum one of the major food groups.
As a newbie to the Fields and one coming from somewhat afar, I have a
couple of questions/requests that probably are best replied to OFF-LIST.
1. I wouldn't mind hearing from individuals who have attended in the
past and who came without elaborate cooking/barbecuing rigs just to know
what they brought and how they managed food-wise. All I've got is a
little burner that screws onto a can of something flammable (butane maybe?).
2. I will be driving alone from NYC, probably leaving on the 24th
(possibly the 25th) and could use company, particularly if they are
capable of doing some of the driving. I am pretty flexible as far as
picking someone up along the way if it doesn't involve a major detour
(I'll pass through New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, mebbe even a tad of
West Va; either via Route 80 to the north or Routes 76/70 somewhat to
the south). I am planning on making a fairly leisurely two day trip of
it, but could squeeze it into a single day if I had a co-pilot. I'm
thinking of returning Monday.
Thanks much in advance for any replies.
Counting the days,
Peter Hirsch
