lt1_fd3s is on a distinguished road
I probably wiil skip the 276 run this year for a few reasons... (i did consider it...)

main reason: I'll probably be passing by 276 about 11-11:30... and probably still have a full belly...
2nd reason: as you mentioned, i'm hoping to get to campsite about 1pm... 276 run wont let me do it...
3rd reason: 276 is shit right now... road quality is seriously down from last year... they have put a few patches in and are prepped to re-pave, but who knows when that will happen...

So yes, I personally will be skipping the 276 run, though I probably will stop at the overlook at the top to let those with me have a chance to break off and go down...

And hopefully as people show up, they can just roll through to the camp site and i'll have already taken care of checking in...
