I memorized the number of planks on the dock at the place where we vacation. The idea was to be able to reconstruct it in my mind when I was stressed and meditating to clear my head (it's a very relaxing place), but I realized that the number of planks has nothing to do with a good visualization of the place. Still know it though. 27 planks. What has helped with visualization is that the 5th plank from the end has a deep gouge in it and the 16th has a spot of white boat paint on it.
