Michelle FisherMost bachelorette trips are unforgettable but in this instance, it's all for the worst reasons. A dangerous 5-mile hike brought a 4-day ordeal to an end for a group of eight resilient young women.
Helene and its devastation in Asheville, North Carolina has Nessman counting her blessings, and recounting her sister-in-law's bachelorette trip turned nightmare. She and a group of seven other women found themselves stranded on Elk Mountain in the Asheville area after the storm slammed the area on Thursday -- washing out roads, toppling trees and knocking out power and communications.
"We only really had a rotisserie chicken and 36 eggs, so we are eating food that definitely was already spoiled. By then our fridge went out," Nessman said.
