Hey I just moved from Ames to Missoula, MT. We did a short tour in Iowa but it was to NE Iowa. Once you get further west there are more campgrounds as well as free camping in public lands (usually). I second the crazyguyonabike journals which are really helpful. If you choose one of the Adventure Cycling routes at least people are more used to seeing touring cyclists but I don't think any would line up with your route without adding a lot of extra traveling.

Lots of options from Iowa to Washington, especially when you aren't limiting yourselves to pavement. In addition to crazy guy and adventure cycling starting searching each state for bike routes. We just started a group on ridewithgps.com that is posting different rides in Idaho. Do considered picking up the Hiawatha trail in northern idaho if you find yourselves heading north.

Thanks! Crazy guy on a bike is a goldmine!
Hiawatha trail looks amazing! Right now we have our route use the Northern Pacific trail from Lolo NF to Wallace, but might play with this a bit!
Thanks! (:
