Arkansas Canoe Club Forums

I have been reading all the post on this thread. I knew when I posted the orginal post that there would be alot of ppl that wanted to help. And I was right. And I see the frustration that some of you are feeling and I understand, as do others. I would like to thank some of you like DeMo and OzarkTom...

Just an FYI for everyone. The Little Mo above the lake is closed untill everyone is accounted for. This is what the ppl incharge are saying. It really shouldn't be a problem since the water is down now.

The efforts continues. It is looking pretty grim. James has been up there for 2 days now and will be going back tomorrow. I know there are a number of ppl from this club that are there and helping and thank you for your efforts. I heard on the TV that a "specialty group of rafters" where i...

I have had several phone calls from ppl wanting to go and help tomorrow. James said that the Arkansas State Police were in command now and that they may or may not let ppl in to help search the river tomorrow. If you decide to go up there just tell them at the command center (think it is at Langley)...

They do have ppl searching both sides of the river and helicopters that are equipped for search and rescue in the area. The last unofficial count I got was 20. And some are childern. And there are still a lot of childern missing. This has been a very bad day for a lot of ppl. Keep sending prayers out.

The Little Mo flooded Albert Pike campground last night. The Langley Fire Dept has called in other Fire Depts for assistance as far down as Caddo Valley. The orginal call stated that some campers had been washed into the river and that there were ppl hanging form trees. The river is dropping fast bu...

Byron,
Kevin and I maybe running a little late too depending on what time I get home tomorrow. I should be back in Arkadelphia around 11:00. Shuttle shouldn't be a problem.

Kevin and I are planning on going. ( If I get off work on time tomorrow morning.) We should be there. If we aren't you'll know I had to work late. :)
See you on the river.
Tamara

What time are you planning on being at the river? Kevin and I are planning on going friday and would like to hook up with you. We will be coming form Arkadelphia.

The latest from the paper here in Arkadelphia is that Matt was last seen around 2 am Saturday.( Some ppl are saying at the Waffle House, but who knows.) Not sure what happened but, sheriff Turnner told the paper that he was not reported missing. And I know Caddo Valley fire dept was not ever called ...

The story going around Arkadelphia is that a group of ppl were floating tubes/air matts friday. The young man had been drinking and made the rest of the group mad and they left him alone on the river. And the river was up friday afternoon. The canoeist found him under the bridge around 9am yesterday...
