Emmett deliveries usually take State Highway 16. The road drops more than 500 feet down the Freezeout Grade. Emmett sits near 2,370 feet in a semi-arid valley. Summers are hot and dry, and winters are cold and damp, so plan service and antifreeze around both.
Orchard lanes and farm roads are fine when dry. The truck needs firm ground within about 30 feet of the unit. After rain or irrigation, pick a spot near a gravel road.
