Unknown Places: IRC Public Shooting Range

Review: Cherry Pie Larabar
Read my Larabar review intro here. Not going to lie, I’m not a fan of cherries. As a kid, the only cherries I ever recall eating were little red ones in a jar with lots of red dye. To this day, I still don’t like cherry flavored anything.
Review: Pecan Pie Larabar
Read my Larabar review intro here. Eating Paleo around the holidays sometimes make me really regret my decision. Pecan pie is one of those. Look at this deliciousness:
