Alpine Outlaws
Description
The Alpine Outlaws were founded in 1985 by Don (Snake) Hughes who hand selected a unique group of tradesmen from a small mountain community just east of San Diego called Alpine. Each cast member was selected for their look and dedication to the re-creation of these Old West icons. With a zest for the West and the hankerin’ to live the life of an ‘Outlaw,’ this dedicated group of men formed the most revered group of bad guys San Diego County has ever seen!
A close friend, caring for a terminally ill little girl at Children’s Hospital, called one day stating that he had a young girl who wanted to pet the face of a horse before she passed away. Rallying to the call, Don loaded his horse and headed for the hospital with the intention of walking his horse right up to the girl while she was still attached to life support medical equipment. Unfortunately, this eight year-old girl died before he arrived at the hospital.
Not to be deterred, Don formed the Alpine Outlaws and dedicated their mission to having fun and re-creating the lure of the Old West, all while raising money to help terminally ill children make their final wish come true.
