Local documentary filmmaker and SOLAHA co-producer, Jack Baric warmly recalls playing outside while growing up in San Pedro. From sports and go karting in the street to dirt ride biking and rafting in a big field that the kids called The Gulley, Baric recounts all of his boyhood adventures with friends and family.

Vol. II, No. 53 Local filmmaker and SOLAHA co-producer/director, Jack Baric warmly recalls playing outside while growing up in San Pedro.

From seasonal sports and go karting in the street to dirt ride biking and rafting in a big field that the kids called “The Gulley”, Baric memories all of his boyhood adventures with friends and family are like a passage from the great American novel Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. Full of innocent, occasionally dangerous, rambunctious fun.
