Welcome to ‘Not Lost, Just Off-Trail’!

Hi, I’m Cass, and welcome to my little corner of the internet!
This site is about my journey to prepare for hiking the Appalachian Trail, & the ups & downs of family life & running a business. I’ve got a lot on my plate, and I’m excited to share it all with you. Whether you’re here for life updates, watching me train for the trail, or just a glimpse into the realities of balancing many passions, I hope you find something to connect with.

What to Expect from ‘Not Lost, Just Off-Trail’

This site isn’t just about one thing—it’s about everything I’m working on as I balance preparing for a major hike & managing my family & entrepreneurial pursuits. Documenting the ins and outs of my journey, home to trail.

You can expect posts on:

• • My Hiking Journey: Updates on my training for the Appalachian Trail, tips, and experiences along the way.
• • Furniture Refinishing: I’ll be sharing my furniture projects, the challenges I face, and the joy I get from turning old into new. I’ll even share how it all ties into my side business.
• • Life as a Busy Mom: As a mom of five, I’ll share how I juggle it all. The good, the bad, and everything in between.
• • Business Adventures: Flipping storage units and furniture, it’s all here.

I’m in this for the long haul and I can’t wait to take you along for the ride.

Thanks for being here!

Cass
