I was on a long car trip with someone as we made our way toward an unspecified location. We drove through small southern towns, but it was snowing and messy and everyone seemed aggravated. We finally made it to a large restaurant with common seating where I and a group of people I was meeting were introduced to the rest of the patrons as persons who had finished some sort of quest or challenge to be here. We were supposed to receive something in return but it wasn’t forthcoming.
