CB at Stage Fort Park During Gran Prix prep

Stage Fort Park is being prepped for the 19th annual Gran Prix cyclocross race this weekend.  However, despite the markings on the ground and the stakes placed to guide the riders, the Park still has many beautiful settings.

However, anyone considering a crystal ball purchase should be VERY AWARE that it is very very easy to start a fire, as you can see here.  The leaf got too close for comfort, so it was reminded to keep its distance by setting it ablaze.  Yikes.  This is a very serious warning that these can be very dangerous, especially at this time of year.
