This CITO was done in cooperation with KeepAustinBeautiful.  Fritz Hughes park was full, clean-up-wise, so I went to another spot, Hippy Hollow Park.  After 2 hours of picking up trash at the lake's edge, I caught some rays for an hour or so, then headed over to the after-CITO lunch party.

This cache is on Kane'Ohe Bay Sandbar.  Gotten while visiting my friends Team Hokulea, and playing for the afternoon on his sister's boat.  I launched on a kayak from the boat to visit the sandbar, as that water was too shallow for the boat.

By far, the best letterbox I've encountered.  Not merely a geocache with a rubber stamp inside, this one correctly required following text directions to locate the final.

My 3rd Mega.  In the team competition, I scored two FTFs on the hides and was the top scorer for the Central Texas team.

Something like 40 stages spanning 111 miles, hello-pittie, kcleave, & I finally located the final after a lengthy search in its hosting park.  As icing, it completed hello-pittie's first Fizzy.

A well-done multi in downtown Brenham, hello-pittie & I found this one while doing the Washington County Geotour.

In Mary Moore Searight Municipal Park, this was my first 5/5 cache and my 100th find.  It took me three attempts, and I biked to it from my apartment.

This one is truly astounding.  Gotten with Team Hokulea, this was my 400th find.

This was a fun puzzle to solve and a challenge to find.  A memorable combination.

This is a fun night cache in Walnut Creek Park.  I finally figured out the path on my second or third attempt.  A few months later, I served as the guide for a group of cachers after an event, and enjoyed something very special.

While not a noteworthy container, this cache requires a hike of a few miles in Granger Lake Park.  I made the trek on a 95-degree summer day because the 3/5 rating would complete my first Fizzy.

A non-descript magnetic key holder, this cache is memorable for the scenic overlook above the Honolulu skyline, with Diamond Head in the distance.

A memorable pre-made container, this cache is hidden inside a now-disconnected fire hydrant.

I visited with SNORG.  Aged 97 at the time, Barney had started boxing up his artwork to ship it all to Dallas.  The 20-minute tour took us an hour and a half.

Easily the best-construction Wherigo I've yet encountered.  It required two attempts on days too hot to be geocaching.

I compiled this list for my 10000th-find event.  These are my most-memorable caches by type, so far.

I could not select a favorite 'Traditional, hand-made container,' as there were simply too many to review.  A fair number of the creative containers by bartman914 fall into this category.
