Quicksand!
I've been pretty luck to date and haven't run into quicksand while out in the woods. I have at work and we nearly lost a 70 vibrating plow. Only the fact that an oil truck with a winch happened by kept the unit from sinking into the sun set. We did loose a D7, cable reel and all, crossing a shallow river in Wisconsin. But I've not found it when out back packing. Here's an article about what to look for and what to do if you encounter it.

Part of me would like to experience quick sand in a controlled setting, but the other part would rather avoid it at all costs. Good post, Rick.
