Very nice biking! Looks like a load of fun!
Back in the day would've wanted to do that.
Actually, I have done some things close to that ****, but not quite.
Does sleeping in a corn field in southern mexico count on a motorcycle trip?
We were too late to make it to the planned stop and had to get off the road. Big animals roaming on the unlit roads at night were too dangerous on motorcycle.
These days, not sure how I would sleep without my 3 pillows carefully arranged
to support my aging joints and pillow topped mattress smoothing out the angles between neck, back and hips.
This guy didn't even have a bedroll. He must be under 30! 
If I could just have my 25 year old joints back (the ones on your body, NOT the kind you smoke)
I would be happy. 
Same here -- if I were younger I would love to do something like that on a bike. When we were in our 20's Terryl and I used to go camping with a canoe once or twice every year, out in the wilderness in western Canada. We would go out for a week or just a long weekend, and where we lived at the time had ready access to really isolated places -- just drive a couple of hours and pick up a logging road into the bush, drop the canoe into a river, and paddle 'til we got to the lake where we wanted to camp. The only sign of humanity was one or two bush planes flying overhead every day. And the wildlife we saw was amazing -- wolves, bear, moose, coyotes, martens, bald eagles, owls at night....you name it. I guess some would call it "hard core", but we didn't think twice about it. Lots of people did it, and it was just common knowledge how to handle yourself in the wilderness, so we were comfortable there....bears and all....
To do something similar on a mtn. bike would be a really great way to see some amazing scenery. Alas, those days are past. Although, we are actually thinking of doing a mtn. biking vacation to the east coast of Canada next summer. Kind of like the summer equivalent of a ski trip, but on our bikes. Not sure of our destination yet, but there are some wonderful areas out there to explore. No camping, but renting a cottage and using that as home base for a week or two would be just the thing. Something to look forward to.....
