The highway is paved all the way, but broken up due to frost heaves. after Grand rapids, witch by the way is a good place to spend the night, first street on your left after crossing the bridge is a good motel, it also has a bar and rest(name escapes me at the moment). between grand Rapids and ponton the highway is the worst. i was thru there about 6 weeks ago. thinking back it was about 20 miles n of G.R. where the road got rough.
