Default New driveway - how long to keep concrete wet?

How critical is it that it not dry out? I wasn't paying attention, and part
of it got a bit dry for a few hours. I've kept it wet ever since. The
weather is cool, with occaisonal sprinkles, so it's not hard to keep it wet.
And when can I finally let it dry out?

The first 3 days are the most critical. If you had a way to cover it
with visqueen or set a lawn sprinkler to run continuously, your task would
be easier.

I finally got my new driveway poured. Question: Should I let it dry out,
and if not, how long should I keep it wet? I've been going out several
times a day and hosing it off to keep it wet. It's not hot, but the wind
is blowing and the sun is shining, and it drys out after a few hours. At
what point do I stop and just let it dry?
