 		I should have mine tomorrow morning. I have to wait until the mail room in my building opens. Sorry.

In the meantime,wasn't one of the ribbons a clue about Raidar, something like a user name and password? Could it be a way to access the Orbital interweb, or whatever they call their on-site email? Maybe Steven hid the last bit of the location somewhere else? And don't we still need the info for Frame 5?

Yes, one of the ribbons was different in that it contained a username & password. However we have not found the site that it goes with. It's not working with the orbicon intranet as is. There are at least two unsolved issues with that particular ribbon: why are the letters URM underlined and why is there a dot under the asterisk (which did not show up in other ribbons) ?

That's the Melbourne location, except that it's correctly labelled South instead of North and the bells are missing an L.

 		Did Stevie ever mention how she came up with these puzzles ? Obviously she did not hide the caches, thus does not the coordinates. Is she copying everything from a page that Steven left ? Has the ribbon/color information been provided for her too ?

 		Oh goodie ! Smile
Could you please doublecheck the dots and characters ? Are there any underlined letters ?

This translates to:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

http^=xf04.saipets.com, or: http://xf04.saipets.com.

This link is not valid, but a comparison with my Bristol ribbon shows almost the same phrase: "Uxp042". Inserting this instead provides the correct link as follows:

http://xp042.saipets.com/

The username and password can be read directly from my ribbon and are:

u/n: Uxp042@Raidar
p/w: Mae*7243098

The directory listed contains pictures from the drop sites at Milwaukee, Indiana, Melbourne, Bristol AND also, Chicago.


Note: The picture of "thebenchwesaton" should enable me to find the Bristol drop hopefully!



Big thanks go to Mapmaker and Rogi!

 		double checking:

No underlined characters
this is what i get:
08.20.20.16^=24.06.JD. [note I thought this was a B but it could be an 8].? 19.01.09.16.05.20.19[I missed this dot the first time].?03.15.13


Does that fix it? sorry, I have been running all day. Will get a picture up tonight.

 		I will go back to the Bristol location tomorrow afternoon (Friday) after work if it is still light!!

I have attached a picture showing the location and direction of all the pictures from the Saipets site. (thebridge.jpg was taken from south ofthe bridge and so is off the map)

Ironically, the bench in question is at the exact location i estimated after visiting on the 8th (see earlier post). Myself and tallerbird looked here plenty but neither of us could find anything. I'm hoping a good session in the dry should reveal the secret!

EDIT: added a picture I took a couple of weeks back. the bench is the same as benchwesaton.jpg and the picture shows the clump of bushes where I will be searching (again) for STUFF


Cool

 		It didn't occur to me that the coordinates on Google Earth are different from the ones taken by GPS...
Actually, I thought Steven had just taken them from Google Earth/Maps.
