River Tip: Remember we are making memories....not running a race...take your time and enjoy all the river has to offer... it may get lonely watching the river flow should you move faster than the Gordons think you outta...(waiting for pickup and transport back to town) Also, Jasper is really not that exciting when everyone else is still on the river... and just so you know, to my knowledge, the Ozark café has never run out of chicken fried steak.
Lady Bearcats: Congratulations on an important first round playoff victory over Lafayette. Way to go....Catch some of the action on CamptatumSports.com. We wish you continued success...as you defend your State Title.

Iron Men River Tip For Tuesday, April 15
River Tip of the Day: Experience teaches the Iron Man to never let his guard down…because he has learned that it’s not the rapids that will get him…for in those areas he is remains vigilant…but rather it’s the relatively calm waters…where his focus is lost… that his potential for flipping rises… therefore, Iron Men who Stay dry…Stay focused.

Latest River Tips - For the new "wannabe" Iron Men
The Staff of Camp Tatum Travel in an effort to assist our first timers in their transition to Iron Man status have come up with some daily river tips during the week immediately preceding our departure.....the following are some that have already been given:
River Tip: Should you take a tumble....wear something light & quick drying.....
River Tip: When you are approaching a narrow rapid...do not bunch up...Iron Men do not do well together in narrow spaces....generally you will find ... it's every Iron Man for himself...and they will delight in surviving the rapid while watching you tumble...
River Tip: On the River Iron Men will enjoy some beautiful country and have the opportunity of seeing various creatures of God’s creation…but Iron Men learn to contain their excitement and guard their tongue…before exclaiming…”look at that flock of eagles”….because they know their fellow Iron Men will be unforgiving when it comes to “faulty creature identification”…ie. Buzzards rather than eagles…..
River Tip: On the trip to and from the river…should there be a need for conversation…ask your driver about the Elk they released on the ridge several years ago…then sit back and enjoy the ride.
River Tip: Bring a lawn chair…some of our most exciting times...involves counting how many times the local girls pass up and down main street…trying to get a glimpse and interact with our boys…..Nighttime in Jasper, it just doesn’t get any better!
Stay Tuned....more daily postings on the way.

Buffalo 2008 SignUp Is Over - Now Let's Get Ready For A Great Time!
Having begun on January 1, the sign up period for Buffalo 2008 has now come to a close with our largest group ever planning to attend. In 13 years, we have grown from an initial group of 20 fathers and sons, to this year's 261. Wow! The trip is always memorable but its continued success is because of the great fathers and sons from all walks of life who simply want to make some special memories. Each trip has always seemed to deliver just that. I am as excited about this trip, as I was with the very first. I hope you are too! I'm glad you are going. Let's be safe...and have a "Glorious" time.
If you were unable to join us this year, make plans now for Buffalo 2009. Our trip is set each year for the 3rd weekend April...with the possible exception of an Easter conflict. I see no reason to give up on a trip...that has produced so many wonderful memories.... I know many of you veterans...feel the same...and you as I begin thinking about next year...as soon as the most recent trip ends.
The staff of Camp Tatum Travel plan to bring to our websites...as many memories as possible. So stay tuned....Meanwhile....."Shall we gather at the River for Buffalo 2008"
