Roundup Montana
Get together with other pilots or enthusiasts. Plan it or get info about it here.
I am planning a flight to South Dakota next week and was looking for a stop kinda of midway between Orofino S68 and Isabel SD 3Y7 and came up with Roundup Montana KRPX. It appears to fit my criteria of fuel and " Good Dirt ". Anyone ever stop there ? Any other suggestions ?

No information on Roundup.
BUT, right about in the middle of Montana (maybe a bit far north for your purposes) lies a little town called Winifred. Friendly place, HUGE hangar (and they'll let you put a plane in overnight if need be, fuel prices are lower than most, and the burgers downtown are belly busters.

Stopped for fuel and an overnight snooze under the wing at Roundup in 2009. Fuel was relatively inexpensive, the car was available - key in the lockbox (see photo), 3 minute drive into town. Very quiet, didn't see anyone else at the airport. Departed at first light, you can see the town in the last photo.

If you find yourself going a lot more to the south and find yourself near Three Forks, MT and have time to spare for a good meal. Wheat Montana Bakery and Deli is really great! Fantastic service, too. Just a little ways from the airport and I'm not sure if they have a courtesy car.
