Quicksand Fans

I saw this clip on GMA over the weekend about how low the Mississippi River is now due to the drought. Had some good shots of what might be some great sinking spots Just makes me wish I lived near the Mississippi River

Mississippi River's Historically Low Levels

And once again, Meteorologist Ginger Zee was out walking around on the dry river bed. I was hoping maybe she might have a repeat of her brief encounter with quicksand on Lake Mead a few months back. But alas, it appears she learned from that experience, and this time kept her distance from the river mud

Has anyone else had a chance to explore what sinking opportunities the Mississippi River has to offer while it’s down?

I WAS IN MEMPHIS ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO, GOING ACROSS THE BRIDGE AT THE MEMPHIS PYRAMID IT WAS BONE DRY 75 PERCENT THE WAY ACROSS THE RIVER. MOST OF THE SAND WAS DRY AS A BONE EXCEPT FOR 1 CHANNEL ON THE WEST MEMPHIS SIDE WHERE WATER WAS STILL FLOWING A BIT LIKE A SHALLOW CREEK. WE HAD QUITE A BIT OF RAIN LAST COUPLE OF DAYS SO I DON'T KNOW IF THE RIVER CAME UP OR NOT THIS WEEKEND

Yeah I saw some of it looked dry in the video, but along the edges and in side channels like you mentioned could be interesting.
