raleigh yota.
Raleigh Yota began from our passion for the outdoors, our dogs, and exploring. We love to disperse camp, off-road, hike, and find amazing scenery across the US. Oh, and we of course love hunting for local coffee shops, breweries, and wineries.
Build it.
In 2020 Andy knew cars had doors, tires, steering wheels, and such. Given the pandemic and need to constantly learn he took on researching how to maintain and build the best possible vehicles for our many adventures. Most of the parts and maintenance is now done at home, saving us lots on labor bills, but maybe not on too many curse words…
memories.
Possessions rarely last, but we will always have our memories. The views, laughs, scenes, adventures, and people will forever be engrained in our minds and money couldn’t buy any of it. We set a budget, planned for 6 months and traveled the country for a few weeks. We don’t always get to do large trips like this but we go camping, exploring, and off-roading as much as we can…it’s our therapy. Thanks for following along.
planning.
Planning is a LOT of work at times, but critical to having the best adventures. Feel free to reach out to ask about resources we use.
