	The sound of Spock's voice woke me out of the daydream I'd been having about my upcoming camping trip on Mt Hood - it meant my experimental program searching public social media for content with embedded steganography had found something suspicious. I wasn't really expecting to find anything, it was just a convenient testing ground for the process. Taking a look at what it found, I saw a classic picture of Mt Hood as seen from the Rose Garden here in Portland, Oregon. When I decoded the hidden message, it was simple coordinates and a ~~short message~~: "45.~~344526 -121~~.~~709555 Post a picture of yourself at this location~~". Someone ~~had~~ clearly found a new take on geocaching, which looked like fun, though I was thought this must be something a closed group was doing, as I'd be surprised if very many people were doing something as obscure as looking for steganographic messages. Taking a ~~look on Google Earth, I found that the location was Silcox Hut, above Timberline Lodge on Mt Hood. Since I was heading up to Mt Hood shortly, I decided to play along and see what happened~~.
