Our faithful Subaru Forester was retired in the fall, and replaced with a Ram 1500 pick-up.\u00a0A truck will be immensely useful for towing, building a house at Neyaashiinigmiing, and hauling simply tons of adventure toys. Trucks are\u00a0not typically great on fuel economy though, so we went all the way to Quebec to find a truck with an EcoDiesel engine. We now have more utility than we had with the Forester, and the mileage is about 50% better!<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly for a long hot summer of adventure: the AC\u00a0works 100% better than non-working AC!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today is the first official day of summer vacation 2016 (for Those Johnston Kids)!
