I've never eaten at Home Slice Pizza. But when I do, I hope I get to meet the "Queen of Pies".
But my car isn't nearly as tall, so I'm not really sure why I was being warned about power lines...
UPDATE: I started thinking about why these trees are so important and googled them. Duh.

Marker Text:
By tradition, camping place in March 1836, during Texas War for Independence, of Gen.Jose Urrea of Mexico. Strategically located, this was Urrea's staging area. Capt. Amon B. King came from Goliad with his Texas volunteers to support the Refugio townsmen, who were taken into the safety of Mission Nuestra Senora Del Refugio. Then Lt. Col. William also arrived on March 13, and the "Battle of Rufugio" began. Both King and Ward left protection on the Mission, and Urrea won final victories over them, capturing King's command on March 15 and Ward's on March 22.
