Orgyia
Looks a lot like Orgyia detrita, although I haven't looked up the specific characteristics and don't know what similar species there might be.

four-humped caterpillar
Whoa--that was quick!
An on-line search got photos that didn't look quite right to me, but the genus helped me along.
Orgyia antiqua was listed as found not too far from here on the BugGuide: http://bugguide.net/node/view/548559/bgpage
Thanks so much, John!
