Quicksand??
Posted: Sep 08 2021 4:59 am
So as a Gen-X'r who grew up in the 1970's and indulged in all of the books and movies aimed at scaring you about the dangers of the coming Ice Age and the wave of killer bees heading north to the U.S., we also learned to be wary of quicksand. More than a few Saturday morning cartoons involved some character getting stuck in quicksand.
It was with great interest that I saw someone post on another media outlet that there was a 911 call from Catalina State Park to rescue a woman from quicksand. Based on where the call was coming from, it looks like just past the entrance in the CDO wash. Anyone know if quicksand legitimately exists in Arizona and do I need to brush up on all the quicksand survival skills I learned from Johnny Quest?
