My brother almost died due to a quicksand like mud called Caliche.It is a sturdy hard dirt almost as tough as concert when dry but wet it will kill you and it isn't a slow death it is like being sucked down into mud hell.
See there is a big plot of land in my hometown NO ONE OWNS because it is all caliche.It is fenced off so animals won't go in.My brother sees that walmart is on the other side of this field and thinks "I got an idea.I will go THRU this feild and make it to walmart faster.Saving me a good 2 or 3 minutes."Half way through he stepped onto a large patch of what looked like solid dirt.Nope caliche.See it had been raining for the past 2 weeks and this was the first time it stopped and that ground was now soup.He went stright up to his waist.He would of gone deeper if it wasn't for him grabbing a broad laying there.He "swam" for his life.He came out caked in about 50 pounds of mud.If he died we would of never found him because NO ONE BUT HIM IS DUMB ENOUGH TO GO THERE!

When I was about 10, my buddy pushed me into the creek we were walking by. Turns out there was something like quicksand under the water. When I couldn't get out, he panicked and ran.
After about an hour, I made it out, but I lost a shoe.
Thanks shoe, your sacrifice saved my ten-year-old life that probably wasn't in crazy danger to start with.
