Just to shake things up a bit more and keep them really random, I'm throwing caution to the wind for this challenge. Your prompts will be given to you in random order, with everyone following a different path. I'll be tracking your prompts on a separate spreadsheet to make sure we don't miss one.
If you would like to pick your starting place, tell me your favorite number between 1 and 72 before, or tell me to choose for you!
