I found this source very helpful when traveling down through Oregon into California and Nevada. Of course the list is nationwide. Normally all Starbucks have an ATT connection. Not free but every Starbucks inside a Safeway store that I found had free WiFi. Mostly all Public Libraries have free WiFi.

An increasing number of notable retailers are providing free wifi access
I noticed the other day the Barnes&Noble store here - which has a coffee bar inside - does that.
Many sports-themed bars do as well. If I was on a trek like yours I would ask management at such places. They'll give you the access code if you are eating/drinking there.

You'd have to go under contract for a Verizon card.
Virgin has a pay as you go deal. $99 bucks for the device and front load it with however much data usage you need.

I happen to have the Virgin Mobile wireless, for when I'm on the road.
The reason I got this was, I didn't want to get tied down to a 2 year contract and Pay $39.99-$59.99 a Month.
I paid $149 for mine ( is it really $99 Now ?? ) Oh Well, no big Deal..
Anyway, Best part is...I'm not Always on the Road...So I Only load it when I do.
You can put $20 on the card, and it's good for like 250MB or 30 Days
So if you're Not going to Download Movie/Music, etc or Play Games...It's GREAT !!
I am from Texas and never had any problems in major towns....I have used it in Vegas, NY, Louisiana etc with no problem....If you plan to travel up the mountains or middle of nowhere...chances are you will get weak or spotty coverage....
The trick is stay close to major highways...there are a lot of cell phone towers along the interstates and you will get good coverage...

not only do most bars , coffee shops, hotels/motels, and most fast food places now-a-days have it, but a lot of businesses have for their security systems and credit card processing. And alot of small businesses set the stuff up themselves and don't pw protect it, as well as most home owners.
you'll be amazed as to how many hot spots you can find, hell you can just drive around neighborhoods and find one.
