Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted Coordinates. Solve the puzzle below to get the actual coordinates

A geocacher flying a small plane passes directly over the cupola of the courthouse in Washington Courthouse, OH flying due south. The air speed of the plane is 60 mph. Exactly 3 minutes and 7.7 seconds after passing over the cupola, the flying geocacher dropped a cache out the window of the plane. At the time of the drop, he is one mile above the ground and there has been a Northwest wind of 22.23 mph for the entire flight. You will find the cache hidden where it hit the ground. Assume the acceleration due to gravity is 32.2 ft/sec^2. Ignore the effects of air resistance as the cache is dropping (but not the effect of the wind on the plane). I used the link to the website at the top of the page to determine the coordinates from the calculated vector. Answers within 30' are accepted as correct due to possibilities in rounding, exact solution is revealed with green Success.

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
