Pittston is a city in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is situated between Scranton and Wilkes-Barre. The city gained prominence in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as an active anthracite coal mining city, drawing a large portion of its labor force from European immigrants. The population was 7,739 as of the 2010 census. At its peak in 1920, the population of Pittston was 18,497. The city consists of three sections: The Downtown (in the center of the city), the Oregon Section (in the southern end), and the Junction (in the northern end).
Pittston lies in the Wyoming Valley on the east side of the Susquehanna River and on the south side of the Lackawanna River. It is approximately midway between Wilkes-Barre and Scranton. Named after the famous British statesman William Pitt the Elder, the city was settled around 1770 by the Susquehanna Company of Connecticut. It was originally called "Pittstown."
During the Revolutionary War, Connecticut Continentals (Patriots), led by Captain Jeremiah Blanchard and Lieutenant Timothy Keyes, held and maintained a fort in Pittston. On July 4, 1778 (one day after the Battle of Wyoming), a group of British soldiers took over the fortress and some of it was destroyed. Two years later, the Continentals stormed the fortification and recaptured it. From then on it was under Patriot control until the end of the war in 1783, with the signing of the Treaty of Paris. Today a marker stands at the site where the fort once stood.

On today's adventure I go out in search of Devil's Falls. Devil's Falls is a 2.4 mile lightly trafficked out and back trail located near the town of Pittston, Pennsylvania that features a beautiful 40ft waterfall and stream. This hike is good for all skill levels. proper footwear is a must due to the loose rock terrain. This trail is primarily used for hiking and walking.

Pressure slowly building like a sky about to rain
Something so electric in the air
All this time we're killing only leads us back again
To the feeling that's been waitin' for us here
It's too late
To be cautious
If it's a mistake
It's one we're meant to make
Shoot the moon
'Cause one heart is the most we can lose
And if we shoot the moon
There's no way that the stars can refuse
Feel the tiger stalkin' in the jungle of the heart
Hungry for the tender and the warm
We can keep on talkin' but as long as we're apart
The feeling just can't break into a storm
Take a chance
When the music is playing
You dance
There's no reason we can't
Shoot the moon
'Cause one heart is the most we can lose
And if we shoot the moon
There's no way that the stars can refuse
Finding you here
Had the odds of a million to one
And you're the one
Now it's up to us
To finish what fate has begun
Take a chance
When the music is playing
You dance
There's no reason we can't
Shoot the moon
'Cause one heart is the most we can lose
And if we shoot the moon
There's no way that the stars can refuse
Shoot
Shoot
To
We shoot the moon
Shoot the moon (There's nothing standing in our way)
And if we shoot the moon (It's just the chance we have to take)
Shoot the moon (There's nothing standing in our way)
'Cause one heart is the most we can lose
And if we shoot the moon (It's just the chance we have to take)
There's no way that the stars can refuse
Shoot the moon (There's nothing standing in our way)
'Cause one heart is the most we can lose
And if we shoot the moon (It's just the chance we have to take)
There's no way that the stars can refuse
Shoot the moon (There's nothing standing in our way)
'Cause one heart is the most we can lose
And if we shoot the moon (It's just the chance we have to take)
There's no way that the stars can refuse
Shoot the moon (There's nothing standing in our way)
'Cause one heart is the most we can lose
And if we shoot
There's no way that the stars can refuse
Shoot
