# If WSU Vancouver had posted "Mt Hood" photo two days earlier, they would have seemed like comedic geniuses

So… mountains. They’re big. They’re often covered with snow. They crop up here and there in the Northwest. And if you squint just right, they can be pretty darn hard to tell apart. Or at least that’s what I’m telling myself. Because tonight, the local Twitter crowd is getting many a laugh thanks to [WSU Vancouver’s Twitter account](https://twitter.com/WSUVancouver/ "WSU Vancouver on Twitter") accidentally mislabeling Washington’s Mt St Helens as Oregon’s Mt Hood.

The tweet that started it all has been deleted. But luckily a few screenshots were captured.
