When our daughter was a child, we drove the Hope Princeton in summer and found a great swimming hole in the Similkameen River at Bromley Rock. Since the heat of that August day enticed us to take that first icy plunge, the place has remained a landmark for all of us.
Until yesterday, I hadn't seen Bromley Rock since last August. That day it was late afternoon and rainy, and I was alone. Definitely not a good time for a refreshing swim to wash off the dust of the road.
Yesterday Yasemin and I stopped there again, in the heat of the afternoon. We'd promised her Dad, who wasn't with us, that we'd enjoy the Similkameen waters.
The prospect of full immersion was too much, but I was determined to get my feet wet. Obligingly, my daughter captured my wading venture on film. She also did all the driving on our day trip to Osoyoos.
