Good point. I didn't think of it as quicksand. Then again, I've always imagined that quicksand would have a sign next to it saying "Quicksand!" Apparently it's a myth that quicksand will suck you under; you sink in to your waist or chest and reach equilibrium. If you orient yourself horizontally, you can then sort of swim your way out of it.
Anyway, this stuff really reminded me of modeling clay. In fact, if I'd been alone and hopelessly stuck, I would have gathered some up with my hands and worked with it. Years later when someone found my bones, they'd be greatly mystified to find a large and very perverse sculpture on the log next to me.
