Can a Sam fit Rock N Roads? If not, the next tire down is WTB Nano 40. Either one of those should get you wherever you want to go, just slower than someone on 2" tires. The only place the narrower width is really unpleasant is in sandy terrain. But that doesn't sound like a problem.
If you start riding more and more rugged trail, then at some point you should probably get a bike that can fit a wider tire.
