Mission Accomplished.
(CBS)
Jeff Glor: Our team began out west, where tall gas prices mean short vacations. Just look at Mike Morrasy. He packed up the RV, and drove a whole three miles away from home this year.
Nancy Cordes: After leaving New York's Central Park, our first stop was Pennsylvania's Hersey Park. It's one of those regional attractions that's banking on Americans staying closer to home this summer.

We Made It!
(CBS)
Independence, MO. The birthplace of Harry Truman. The buck stops here, and so do our cars.
We're outside the city's courthouse (thankfully not in it, considering the occasional parking or speeding ticket), preparing for this evening's broadcast, where Nancy and I will wrap up the trip from Main Street.

Where's The (Best) Beef?
With just one more day on the road, the end is in sight. And thank goodness. It's raining and windy - we barely got our tent to stay up for last night's Evening News piece!
But we're looking forward to meeting up with Team Glor near Kansas City - and looking forward to some great barbecue. Kansas City is famous for it. Does anyone have any suggestions for the best BBQ in the city?

Bike To Work Day
We're in St. Louis, Mo. where bike lanes throughout the city have been expanded to meet the residents' demand for biking around town.
64-Cent Gas!
From race car drivers doing-their-thing less in Kansas to encouraging bicycling over driving in St. Louis, the times, they are a-continuing to change due to the stratospheric price of gas -- as Jeff Glor and Nancy Cordes keep finding out, driving toward each other from opposite coasts in the CBS News series, "Eye on the Road."
On Friday, Glor checked in from the Whiskey Lake Raceway in Junction City, Kan.
He told Early Show viewers, "There's a car culture in many parts of this country, and it's changing.

High Gas Prices Force Cities Into Tough Choices
(CBS)
On our way here we stopped in Louisville, Ky., where they're seeing a domino effect that starts with high gas prices and ends with lost jobs.
When we arrived in Louisville, we headed straight for the Breslin Park Pool.

Remember The Days?
(CBS)
Ah, back in the day...
Getting On The Bus
High fuel costs in Louisville, Ky., are forcing people to use public transit. But at the same time, the city is cutting back on routes.
Also, we got kicked out of a gas station. Just click below for more.

Snap Into A Slim Jim
(CBS)
While that name isn't quite as cool as that of where we stopped for gas on Tuesday – Lovelock, Nev. – it does describe the topography. We've gone from the Rockies to the vast, flat fields of the Midwest. On day four of our trip, the sun's gone into hiding. After three days of mostly crystal clear skies, it's overcast and windy as we move toward Kansas.
We had a decent meal last night inside the Brown Palace Hotel in Denver, but healthy food has been the exception, not the rule. Producer Mark Hooper is currently consuming a Slim Jim and a can of Coke.

Talk of the Town
This story appeared on The Early Show
When we rolled into Louisville yesterday, the headline in the local paper was about gas hitting $4 a gallon. That's the case at 12 gas stations in the city. And residents say they can't believe how quickly the price is skyrocketing. It's up 13 cents, on average, here in Louisville, just since Monday.
Four-dollar-a-gallon gas is fast becoming the talk of the town.
One man showed me the receipt from a fill-up he'd just completed and remarked, "Seventy bucks -- good God Almighty!"
