Thanks, Jim, for your offer to pick habs this year.  I eagerly look forward
to seeing hab plants in their full glory, before the frosts have destroyed
the tops.  Glad to know you plan to camp there this year.  I hope to have a
little field kitchen going so I can cook the habs down a little before I
take them home.  Last year I drove home with two 5-gallon buckets of ripe
red habs, and it was like having a leaky tear gas cannister in the car. 
I'm still using the Red Problem #1 sauce I made from those peppers, and the
red savina powder I made has caused many a moist eye for me.  

For those of you not familiar with the fields, they are between
Indianapolis and Bloomington, Indiana.  A very busy 4-lane highway runs
nearby, so if you plan to camp, be ready for a high level of road noise. 
The setting is an orchard so it's easy to tailgate camp.  There are several
state park and private campgrounds within a short distance.  When I went
last year, I ran into leaf-peeping crowds, but it looks like the picking
will be earlier in the season this time.

I hope to have a grill, and if I get really ambitious I'll break down the
New Braunfels for transport. I haven't tried to smoke peppers for a while,
so maybe this will be my chance.   At any rate I can at least smoke some
chicken or fish again.
