Could you find your way home across 3000 miles armed with only Qik, Twitter, Skype and $50? That’s the experiment CBS News weather anchor David Price has just embarked on.

CBS apparently put Dave up to the challenge, dropping him off yesterday on the Santa Monica Pier with the goal of returning to New York City within seven days. He is armed only with $50, his ID, and a handful of gadgets including Qik-enabled cell phones and a laptop.

He’ll be doing broadcasts along the route, with the first embedded below in which he shows off some of the technology he’ll use to try and meet the challenge. And of course the best place to follow him on the journey is through social media: his Twitter account, his Qik videos, and his No Way Home blog on CBS.

Dave has already made quick use of Twitter to orchestrate rides, work exchanges, and meet new “friends” who are helping him get to the next destination. It’s an interesting experiment — what do you think, will he be able to make it back to New York in a week armed only with social media and a few bucks?
