    The Timmies in the Athabasca Lodge, across from the Fort MacKay turnoff was closed down a while ago. They've got the new Petro Can cardlock and gas station opened up in the Industrial Park now though.

    On the main highway, just before you cross the river, the same intersection as the turn to Ft MacKay/CNRL; two camps to the right, when looking at them, the one on the left (north)... Beaver? Lodge.
    There is semi parking in there, on the east side between the camp and the river.

    EDIT: thanks @NorthernMechanic, I thought I had heard it was closed, but wasn't sure. There used to be a Timmies in the industrial park across from Mammoet, but I think it closed when the one in Athabasca Lodge opened. Took a few OS loads in there... it was a challenge. ;)

    I never knew there was a Tims there. That's where they built the new cardlock and convienience store.

    Sorry it took so long, but this is the first chance I've gotten to post this pic. A 113-1980 Roller is a paper roller.

    I was wondering???
    My old Man was an engineer in the paper industry,, and from your dimensions/weight I actually thought about a paper roll,,
    But being in equipment mostly, the brain was stuck on dirt!!
    Funny also, I don't think I've ever heard him refer to one as a "roller" it was always a "drum" or a "roll" !!
     
    MJ1657, johndeere4020 and Oxbow Thank this.

    While I was there for 2 1/2 days to get it, I heard all these descriptions. They called them rolls, and drums, the regular drivers called them rollers. I'm sticking with rolls or drums so I'll avoid any confusion in the future.
