Google says:

74.6 mi (about 2 hours 5 mins)

I do not know what factors they use to come up with that
time but almost this entire trip would be on roads that
have a speed limit of at least 60 mph and most of it 
might be 70 mph.  There is almost no traffic - as in 
there are almost no cars on these roads.   They are 
flat and straight.

What is the time in the log for this part of the trip?
