First, I just want to say "hi" as I'm new to the forum.

I'm planning out a road trip that will start next week.

I've gotten lucky and have a minivan to drive.

I just want some experienced people to look at my itinerary and let me know if this can be done (sanely) within the amount of time I have allotted.

I hope to leave no later than Sept. 6th. I'm hoping for the 4th or 5th, if possible.

Does this work or am I nuts?

Sept. 6th: NYC/Jersey City ---> Cleveland, OH
Sept. 7th: Cleveland ---> Chicago
Sept. 8th: Chicago ---> Sioux City
Sept. 9th: Sioux City ---> Mount Rushmore (gotta see it and no time for Yellowstone)
Sept. 10th/11th?: Mount Rushmore ---> Salt Lake City
Sept. 12th: Salt Lake City ---> Lake Tahoe
Sept. 13th: Lake Tahoe ---> Berkeley
