Ben, When ever I lead a group on the 3's, I give them talk about the importance of riding their own ride, and some of the dangers of the area. If you're not careful, those roads will reach up and bite you real quick. Either the roads, or an F350 dually w/ a brush guard! 
That's no joke. 337, (from Vanderpool into Leakey), has had some workers on the side of the road lately, (on weekdays). Two weeks ago, I came up on them on the back side of a cutback. When the curve signs say 10 MPH, they ain't kidding.
Also, 183 from Hunt into Vanderpool, (in front of the motorcycle museum), has some construction going on. Be ready to stop.
