Added apostrophe to possessive "trail's northern terminus." Updated Geographic Characteristics to correctly note that the north terminus is northwest, not west, of Springer Mountain, and that it is approx. 26 miles from the mountain, not 70. The 70 miles is the length of the Benton Mackaye trail from the Pinhoti/Benton Mackaye junction to Springer Mountain but does not correctly denote the actual distance between the two landmarks.
