Partial Solution for the CRAB Token
The CRAB token was hidden in Del Mar, CA hanging on the back side of a post in the Torrey Pines north preserve by the DAR Plaque, at a location shown roughly in map grid cell AP.
If the image is unmirrored, the melodic MUSIC line at the top of the image is the rough melody of the introduction to HERE COMES THE SUN by The Beatles. Similarly, the unmirrored text lines at the bottom are
VIG
and
MGKZXQIZZPDOLDGESJCXSI.
Decoding the bottom text line with a Vigenere decoder with HERE COMES THE SUN as the keyphrase, and decoding both left to right and then again right to left (as Crab goes back and forth, and as hinted at by the mirror image portions of the art), produces the decoded revealer message:
