I imagine it's about the same anywhere these conditions 
apply.

It's a very special feeling to be walking along and 
notice you and the ground are sinking. You'd like to 
hurry off but if you step too hard you may break 
through the mat and if you fall all the way through 
it'll close up over you and you'll never get out. With 
some experience you can recognize recently overgrown 
lakes and ponds but still . . .
