Is it gravel in some spots? Or just old pavement?

Yeah, it's not the best but I don't go around it. Live near Isabella and travel it often.

That road is terrible.....
I pull a boat and don't drive over 40.
One stretch in particular.
Just washboard for 20 some miles. Needs resurfaced...

I drove it on Friday and it wasn't great, but there's far worse paved roads in the Northland. Compared to the trash they call roads here in Duluth, it's perfect.

Drove up in early June. It was rough. Bounced the whole way in the truck.
