Libby is indeed Montana's best small town

After an exhausting seven years traveling throughout Montana, and experiencing many small towns, cultures and people, while viewing beautiful mountain tops, and fishing the scenic rivers of this great state, “I was led” to Libby, one last time in hopes of finding a home and the good people I’ve believed were here.
