re: Any OBers have an experience with quicksand?

I experience usually soon after a rain as the water in the creeks and rivers has subsided. I don't recall ever getting into any that was bottomless. But until you hit bottom and are up to your crotch it is some scary shite.

Most times it only comes up to my knee or lower. But when you hit a spot that is deeper it is scary as hell.

It usually looks normal until you make that last wrong step and afterwards you can see the water just running out of it and you wonder how it held so much water and why the water didn't run out of it before you stepped in it.
