I've decoded my ribbon and it reads

@Rogi
I doubt the colors are a clue, because that's just randomly chosen by Stevie and she has no idea what all this means.
Edit: Sorry, got it all wrong before.
But still: I think you were right with N instead of S, because Indiana is definitely the hot zone for that cache which is confirmed, because it has been found exactly there.

@Tom or somebody else in Bristol
If you are not already completely fed up with the cache-hunting and you go out there again to look for itr, perhaps you should go to those coordinates however unlikely it seems. How could Steven make a big mistake like that? There's something we are not seeing here and maybe it's really lying around in a bush in front of someone's home, as odd as it might seem. Confused

But then again, mixing up N and S is bad enough...

@Rogi. Your theory about the ribbon lenght sounded good.
My ribbon was the Milwaukee one and it is 53inches. I checked it and it didn't match the location but i did have a bit of trouble with it so if anyone wants to double check. Please do.

Log this under "Just in Case".

As for the color codes.
IF there is one, and IF it's resistors, they are:
0=Black
1=Blown
2=Red
3=Orange
4=Yellow
5=Green
6=Blue
7=Violet
8=Gray
9=White

So, mine would be:

The Melbourne Bells are highlighted with a pink circle in the middle of the following image, the tents you see off to the right are only there a couple times a year when either the circus or the sand sculptures are in town.

What's the exact location (incl. seconds) for the caches that have already been found ? This way we could test the color code theory to see if they add up to the required numbers.

The Milwaukee one probably can be as it had a nice big landmark...

Well... I'd say Google Earth, but just checked the "Known-Good" coordinates for my house from my GPS against it.
Those numbers, in Google, are 100 yards east and about 1/3 mile north of the actual coordinates.
