Hiking the Robert Louis Stevenson Trail

In April and May of 2018, with my good friend Greg Chase, we hiked Le Chemin de Robert Louis Stevenson, designated the GR70, in the mountains of southern France. The route follows or recreates the path that author Robert Louis Stevenson took in the fall of 1878 when he bought a donkey, named it Modestine, and hiked through the Velay, Gevaudan, and Cevennes mountains...a 150 mile journey. He returned home to Scotland and wrote a book titled "Travels with a Donkey" which helped launch is literary career. The book is still available and read today. Because of my family's reported ancestral link to Stevenson, I've wanted to do the hike for years and now I've done it! It was a great experience. Watch and enjoy.
