Wednesday, 14 February 2018 – War Eagles Aircraft Museum

Messilla has a very picturesque old town square. Unfortunately this is the only picture we grabbed. Lots of history.
The Organ Mountains outside of Las Cruces and near the Sierra Vista trail camping area.
A pretty sunset at our KOA campground

We got up early to have the coach at Pro-Tech Diesel. They took our info and promised to look at the air brake leak and the ABS light that has been on since we bought the coach over a year ago. While they worked on the coach we took off for the War Eagles Aircraft Museum. The Museum was really nice with mainly WW2 planes. After the museum we headed back to Las Cruces. We ate at the Cattle Baron. It was another favorite from my work days and remains one of the better Las Cruces restaurants. We then headed to Mesilla and walked the old historic square. Before leaving Las Cruces, we headed out to the Sierra Vista trail head where we had considered staying. Like I feared the relatively small area was already full of campers. It would be a great dry camping spot. We went to pick up the coach at about 5:30. They had repaired the air brake leaks in one day, including procuring two new valves. Unfortunately they didn’t solve the ABS problem and I will see if they can take another look tomorrow. We ended up back in the same KOA parking lot campground.  Hmm…. somehow I don’t seem to have any pictures of the museum.  Bummer.
