DAY 2:   Robinson Flat to Duncan Canyon to Red Star Ridge parking area.
Lee was the trail guide for Saturday's run.  Given the unkown state of the trail near French Meadows reservoir (where the fire had been), he decided that we should start from Robinson Flat and travel the trail in opposite direction  that it is run during WS.  (We had left a car at the parking lot where the Red Star Ridge aidstation is located during WS.)

Photo #30: One of several dry creek beds that were crossed before finally reaching Duncan Creek.  Dunca Creek had ample flow, and we were able to filter water to cap-off our bottles and camelbaks.
Photo # 31: Some time after crossing Duncan Creek, there was another nice view of Little Bald Mtn area.
Photo # 28: Lee negotiating a switchback in the trail.
Photo # 29: Lee and Wini running through the forest... still no signs of the fire.
Photo # 34: More burn area .  One of the many fallen tree trunks across the trail (There were over 70  fallen tree trunks across the trail  counted from Duncan Canyon to Red Star Ridge parking area).
