Evening of Arrival--Day 0
Once you all stuff yourselves into the Hum-Vee you hold still for a moment to let it all sink down what you just experienced. The silence gets broken by Ross prying around in his bag somewhere in the back of the car.
You get out your stuff and try your connection, sometimes a connection is briefly established but it fades out before you can even feel happy about it. After witnessing a few flikkering moments of world wide web you put your stuff back into your bag and head off in search for some shelter.
[You can converse what you want while in the car

Half a mile past the spot where you ran into the old man, James catches his first glimpse of a town.
As you pass a sign that reads "Welcome to Miner's Folly", a half dozen streetlights glow like ghosts in the snowy night, giving the impression that the town is hanging in space. It is nearly midnight when you arrive; the store and house windows are all unlit save those of the sheriff's office and a bright beacon of light far off outside of the town that pierces the white gloom. Because Snowflake Valley is partially blocked from the wind, the roads in and just around town here are not as bad as those farther up the pass.
Between the darkness and the blowing snow, you all have difficulty making out your surroundings, but when you get out of your car in town you get the sense of mountains looming over you from every direction.
[Off to bed, back in a couple of hours.]
