Nice find! this is a male Walkingstick from Genus Diapheromera. There is a good chance that this is a Northern Walkingstick but I think there are other similar species in your area so I will let you decide. The Northern Walkingsticks are the most common. http://bugguide.net/node/view/34510/bgpage http://bugguide.net/node/view/34736

WOW! How big (how long...) was it? It's definitely a "walking stick", or "stick insect".... but it would really help if we had more details regarding the size. :)
