jds Stranger Registered: 01/03/05 Posts: 22	I just wanted to share this solo hiker quicksand Survival Story with our community, in addition to the article in the New York Times about it ... https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/11/us/hiker-quicksand-rescue-utah.html?searchResultPosition=1 ... the reader comments are also interesting. NOTE -- for anone who does not have a subscription -- I think they let people read up to three articles for free. ... the hiker also posted his own account on Reddit ... https://www.reddit.com/r/backpacking/com...ke_trail_today/ I hope this posting helps to re-awaken this community as it feels like there hasn't been much activity here lately.

brandtb Addict Registered: 11/26/04 Posts: 537 Loc: S.E. Pennsylvania	Watching Saturday morning TV back in the '50s and '60s made me think quicksand would much more of an issue than it turned out to be for me. _________________________ - - Univ of Saigon 68 - -
