36 miles at 6.40am so it looks like another 250 mile day.  GO Steve!

Is there a magnetic attraction to the Boston area that keeps drawing Steve there?

No, but there may be a gravitational one.

Not sure if it's much different in the Spalding area, but it's 31 C in my garden in Deepest Essex at the moment.
You are in a maze of twisty flat droves, all alike.

Haven't read the Steve threads for a while, this is ace news.  Steve makes me smile every time I think of his challenge.
