SOAPHOLES/soap holes

"Roy described the "soaphole" as a boggy area which, when dry on top, could not be distinguished from the local terrain. He said that if you rode your horse over it, the top crust could break and your horse could drop a leg into this soupy hole. He also said that an entire animal could sink out of sight in this, sort of, quicksand." The Bounty of Gods, p.138.
