Finally the weather was with us....great day...great riders....thanks to all the 1,000's of volunteers who worked all the aid stations and event areas through out the day.

I concur good article on sheep.....big tourist attraction. Sheep and park were here before 9-11 the traffic will just be returning to the hwy.
A friend at Railroad Pass Casino tells me there have been two sheep killed on 93/95 near the pass this year...they do roam in search of water and food it's their nature. I prefer to see them out in the wilds instead of the city park.
I've heard the bridge is to be dedicated in December 2010...

A very nice story to appear just before Henderson Celebrates National Trails Day. Trails are important to giving our kids a chance to connect to nature. I'm amazed how many children/school age kids have not been to Lake Mead or Mt. Charleston. Everyone get outdoors this weekend and celebrate local trails.

It's time to join the Pickens Plan and use our own natural gas instead of foreign oil to carry us through the next ten years. We sent over $300 billion US dollars last month to foreign countries to pay for oil we did not produce.

This project stops before it reaches Lake Las Vegas. LLV and Three Kids Mine developers will have to come to the table in the future to get the road improvements extended to their repectives properties.
Lake Mead Parkway is long long over due for a make over. And let's keep in mind things will turn around and get better...LandWell has a 2,200+ acre development in the works, this will impact Lake Mead traffic flows over time.
Let the Fed's build it now and get it done with...

Congratulation Henderson! Kids need active play. It helps them be creatative and grow not only their young bodies but their minds. Get off the sofa, turn off the TV & computer and get outside.

Scott and all B.C. bike riders will be happy to know that the Henderson to Boulder City segment of the River Mountains Loop Trail will be complete in just afew more weeks; this makes riding into Henderson, Las Vegas a lot safer for everyone. Happy trails are safe trails....

Things change over time and so should the BLM mining sites. True this site has been on the planning maps for along time as a gravel mining pit operation.....then along came Sloan Canyon, new development moving west in Henderson. Take a look at the West Henderson Comprehenive Plan, it leaves a big hole in the plan for this site. All around it will be open space and trails and view shed. Tearing this site up for gravel mining won't improve the view or the open space experience, nor will it generate taxes. BLM it is time to change the plan.
The West Henderson Comp.Plan could incorporate this area into a tax base development with planned open space, low denisity housing, parks and trails for all to enjoy. Open this area for annexation and development and Henderson will jump on it.
Just because it has always been set aside for a gravel pit doesn't mean you can't change and do the right thing.

Great story...congratulations to Kayla, her teacher and the Henderson Chamber of Commerce for getting involved. This will be a life changing experience for Kayla, one you never forget. Thanks to the News for such a positive upbeat story about our youth.
I love it....Keep it up...:)
