Thanks and I do have a CHL. When I received my CHL last year my instructor told us our firearm could not be carried across state lines but needed to be locked away (just while crossing the state line) even if it was a reciprocity state. Is that correct?

...absolutely not...
speedsix is right. Either you misunderstood your instructor....which is certainly possible....or your instructor was stating an opinion rather than a fact. The whole point of reciprocity is that other states recognize your CHL as being valid within their borders. If it is valid within their borders, then why on earth would you lock up your gun when you can carry it instead?
Take a look at the link I posted in my previous post.
I travel to other states frequently and ALWAYS have my weapon on me when traveling. With the CHL and the states you are going to, you should be fine carrying concealed in the car or on your body. Just be sure to note where it is and isn't legal to carry (churches, restaurants that serve alcohol, etc.) in each state as they will differ state to state. Additionally, some states have laws on carrying only one gun, etc. Just follow the laws for each.

Why would you even want to go to Iowa?
On top of the weird laws, it is several hundred extra miles.
I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on.
I don't do those things to other people and I require the same of them.
Don’t pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he’ll just kill you.
