As of 4/3/19, the Forester has now been in the family for 10 years. Built in November of 2008 and delivered new on 4/3/09, time has really flown by. Everyday life, road trips, hauling random stuff, camping, bike hauling, canoeing; the Forester has seen quite a bit in the last 10 years and 108,000 miles. Below are some of my favorite photos or otherwise significant photos involving the Forester from the last 10 years:
