Tiff looked around a bit and finally pointed toward a large sturdy wooden door.
"The room on the right. Let's start there."
Katie just nodded and followed her friend as she entered the room, pushing the large door open.
"Wow..." Is all the two could say. The walls and floor of the huge room was filled with animals that were probably hunted down and stuffed as trophies.
