I was born in 1971. As a kid, I always thought quicksand was going to be a MUCH larger problem in my adult life than it is. |

That looks more like someone getting caught in the tide like a dumbass. Worked at a golf course once where they tried to dredge a "dried up" pond with a huge excavator....it was an attraction on that hole until the following summer

Reminds me of my detour through "silver peak" Nevada last year.
"Possible sink holes ahead." And someone had crossed out "possible" with a spray can.

It was apparently all over the old west as well according to all of the westerns. Yep, I grew up worrying about it as well. 80s kid here and I was scared shitless of it too. Came across a sandy creek once and noped the fuck out of there quick as could be. |

I mean you could walk on the crust without so much as getting your feet dirty but something that weighs as much as a truck would punch through into the seemingly endless soup underneath. |

Some Seabees did that in Gitmo. Didn't believe us that the salt flats were soft I guess. 1 less dozer in the inventory.

Years ago I was wading while fishing in the Staunton river in Campbell county, Virginia. I was alone and no one knew where I was. I had on chest waders and stepped on a small sandbar in the middle of the river and went up to my waist. I fought it for 30 minutes to get free and after getting myself out I realized that the sand had settled on a pile of leaves that had piled up behind a large rock and had covered the leaves and the void within the leaves. If I had not been wearing the waders I could've got free in much less time but the compression of the water and leaves wouldn't allow me to pull myself out of them. I got rid of the waders and will no longer wear them or go fishing by myself.
