Clues #6-8 - Gears, Puzzles and an Audio CD

At Sun Valley Mall, we were given a mechanical drawing of gears. When the rotation speed of each gear was calculated, those values converted to ASCII spelled out PORT COSTA SCHOOL. But I don't have any pictures of that, so you'll just have to take my word for it.

At Port Costa School, we found a baggie filled with little white tiles. Each tile had different colored squiggly lines drawn on them, and along those lines, letters were written. There were 2 sets of tiles: one with red, yellow, and green lines, and one with red, yellow, and blue lines.

To solve the puzzle, we had to make 2 4X4 grids of the tiles, matching each tile to its neighbors such that any lines on one tile were continued on the next. Finishing that, the lines that formed loops in the completed puzzle read:

DRIVE TO CROCKETT FIND PHONE ON PIER BY NANTUCKET

At that phone, we got an audio CD that matched the cover we got in the beginning. The last letter of every song in the song list, when read in reverse order, spelled a message that led us to the Black Point Boat Launch. Once again, no pictures. Sorry. But hey, how exciting are photos of an audio CD?
