Dave Price Mucking Out Stalls in Colorado

By

(CBS)  All this week, "Early Show" weather anchor and features reporter Dave Price is trying to make his way home from the West Coast with what started as only $50, his backpack and some camera gear.

Catch Up with Dave on Twitter

Tuesday morning, Dave found himself in at a ranch in Denver. How did he get there?

Monday, he woke up in Albuquerque, N.M. at a balloon festival, and hoped to hitch a ride in the skies, but he decided against it, because he didn't know where he'd land.

Slideshow: Dave Price on His Way Home

That's when Dave met the Hanson brothers, Francis and David, who picked him up in their car, and took him part of the way to the Mile High City. Then, Dave hitched a ride with motorist Howard Fishman, who said he would take Dave anywhere if he would help him raise money for cancer research.

Fishman, who lost his mother to cancer, told Dave about his family's walk every year in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, as he drove Dave into Denver.

Read the "No Way Home Producer Notebook" blog.

But where would Dave spend the night? Outside -- again?

Luckily, he found a place to rest indoors, sleeping on a ranch in Highlands Ranch, Colo. But the room, Dave pointed out, came with a hefty price. He had to shovel out the barn's stalls in exchange for the accommodations.

Dave,
We enjoy watching you every morning. You are always such a great sport, no matter what they come up with for you to do next. You're already past us, sorry we missed you. But we do have a suggestion: We'd love to see Maggie accept this same challenge with all the same rules applied:)
Keep safe!

I just wanted to comment about the negativitey of some who comment on here. If you dont like CBS news then dont read it. I have to say I have been homeless and now have started my life from scratch with my two little girls and now work in a corporate office. I have been on both sides of the fence. I DONT think what Dave is doing is offensive at all. It is great and light hearted. I like seeing people reach out...I was homeless and traveled clear across country to get back home to family in Oregon and with two kids. I loved when people reached out to help us. Dave... hope you are having a fun experience and best of luck to you!

Hey Dave! Awesome what you're doing. I'm a pastor in Sutton Nebraska. Looks like you will be driving through Nebraska some time soon. When you hit the Henderson Ne. exit come on down South and pay us a visit in Sutton. We have a place for you to stay and you could earn a little money working at the sweet treat, flipping burgers and chatting with the locals. Hope all is well with you and that you have safe travels. Prayers go out to you.
Peace,
Eric
