I don't get it, when is this mission? Does it simply appear after you complete the normal single player?

I played the DLC for an hour before I got this. Finished the first encounter after the beginning cutscene, and then rode into Blackwater. Talked to the first survivor, fought off undead, then found a woman in a house who said the undead were coming from the church graveyard. Went there, set fire to the coffins and cleared it out. Went back to the town and saved it. Found a family taking refuge on a roof and talked to them. Not sure if this is necessary but went into the house marked on the map and saved the game advancing time. Rode around Blackwater looking for more survivors. Encountered a group standing around a barrel fire. They explained a snake oil man from New Austin caused it. The cutscene ends and the achievement unlocked. Also unlocked "Strange Things are a foot" at the same time.

Story related, cannot be missed.

Complete the "Curious Tales from Blackwater" Survivor Mission:

After returning to Blackwater, you will bump into some old friends who then ask you to help clear out Blackwater. You will find a family on a roof, however they are no help at all. After continuing exploring around the town of Blackwater you will find another group of survivors huddled around a fire in a bin who will each tell you their theories on what is causing the outbreak, after speaking to them the trophy will pop.
