First, congrats on a damn nice bike. The 610 was one step lower than the 1000, but it has a stiffer fork I believe, so it was arguably better in that regard. If it has the forty spoke rear thirty six front with the sansin sealed bearing hubs, which is what it should have come with stock, then possibly they might need some greasing. You can gently and with care pry off the dust covers and pack grease into them, then pop the dust covers back on. Other wise replacement of the bearings is in order(I have two of these wheelsets, and have done the regreasing thing, but will be replacing bearings before my next 2000 mile trip)

Hammocks are great for stealth camping, its a method that I use in the mix of campgrounds, state parks, and Hotel/motel. Try to keep a little money set aside for a room if you can, sometimes there is just no where to camp that feels right, or that big huge storm is rolling in over night and four walls feels better than crouching in a tent or whatever. But be prepared to deal with the unexpected. Like many my first tours were with a pletcher rack and a couple of cheap bags.
One last thing, if you do stealth camp, and have a green tarp/tent/hammock, whatever, be sure that when you go to get water or food or even take a pee, you can find it again...
