🌄 Henderson’s high-tech plan for summer storms

Shout out to my friends:

If you’re a fight fan, follow them now so you can say, “I knew them back when…”

As they work their way from the amateur ranks toward professional fighting careers, they’ve recently had the advantage of fighting locally.

I have been a lifelong boxing fan, was an amateur boxer for a decade before I found jiu-jitsu at 40 years old, and used to watch the UFC on VHS tapes back in high school. Being able to train alongside these up-and-coming “kids” as they follow their dreams of becoming professional fighters has been awesome. Seeing their recent wins in person is a treat. It’s one of the advantages of living here in the fight capital of the world.

Are you an MMA fan? Have you been to an event live? If not, I recommend it. It’s a great atmosphere, and you can get tickets through promotions like Tuff ’N Uff for under $50!

The Gist: Henderson crews are using drones with LiDAR technology to map washes, detention basins, and stormwater areas before monsoon season. The data helps teams monitor conditions and plan maintenance.

Why It Matters: If you’ve ever watched a summer storm roll through, you know how quickly desert washes can change. This behind-the-scenes work helps crews better understand problem areas before heavy rain arrives, so they can keep an eye on the places that matter most.

The Gist: A $23 million water and sewer pipeline replacement project is starting along Stephanie Street in Henderson. The work will bring temporary lane reductions as crews replace an aging pipeline over the next year.

Why It Matters: If you use Stephanie Street for errands, shopping, or your daily commute, you’ll want to plan for slower traffic in the coming weeks. The project will move through different sections of the road, so some drivers may need extra time or an alternate route.

Along the way, guides share stories about the area's history, wildlife, and landscape, making each trip as informative as it is memorable.
