So, I most definitely have seen the intermittent overflows (and sometimes fairly significant bubbling) by Brilliant Pool, as has been happening in the past. I would not have mentioned this occasion if it hadn't struck me as exceptional -- water was pouring over all visible parts of the rim (as seen from the south side trail, of course). This was a minute or two before that eruption of Daisy, the eruption that I still will swear reached no higher than 40 feet (and which impressed other gazers as weak).</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000>Scott Bryan</FONT></SPAN></DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
