I have spent countless hours digging at Bartlett aka munger. It is definitely going to be a great challenge. I will be there every day this week making some spots a little more challenging. All runs will be c1-c2 ready. A couple will be wide enough for c3

I have never been there so don't think I can be much help.

Without any upkeep munger would be taken over by weeds within three weeks. I try to add/change trails to keep it fresh. I'm not sure what you mean by delicate

Im pretty sure me and the bro in law would be in for anything.
Is there any kind of trailing spots? I have no problem with rocks, it would just be kind of cool to do a little bit of everything

No worries, I don't think a 2.2 would ruin the trails for every one. Any obstacle that would be too narrow for a 2.2 has a 2.2 bypass. While the trails have been built with 1.9 rigs as the target class you will have plenty of challenges even with the larger tires. I would say 95% of the trails will be for any class.

Railroad crossing is South of Stearns, story is if you go there at night, pull to the side of the road before you cross the tracks, sprinkle baby powder on your rear bumper, and the kids killed on that stranded school bus will push your car across the tracks to safety, and you'll be able to see the fingerprints when you check your bumper afterwards.
