Day 42: Morning
The weather would be one of the first noticeable things as the three buses rumbled their way down the road and into the small town of Doyleton. It had always been cold on these trips, but it was only getting colder, with a light layer of frost dotting the road in some places. There was no saying whether there would be full-blown snow at some point, but considering how far up into the mountains the town was, it was quite possible.
For now, though, the roads were just a little more slippery than normal, something that had the nurses worried as they piled out of the buses and waited for their patients to enter. Most of them gave out a warning - "watch your step!" - before handing each patient a packet of coupons, as usual.
Meanwhile, the townspeople were getting used to these weekly trips, and so they didn't pay the new arrivals too much mind as they went about their early morning business. Still, the shops were all open and ready for visitors.
