Garbage Dumps of Ainsworth: Made in Norway and Dry Ice

Not far from the House in the Woods, you can find evidence of long-ago chemical activity.

Whatever used to be in this barrel, it was made in Norway, according to the second line stamped on the barrel. I can't read the first line — maybe it's in Norwegian?

Who would need this much dry ice, and for what?

Per the plat books I've found so far, this land was owned by Henry Chester, then Charles Chester, then Roland and Gladys Schmitt, then Chester Wasy. I don't know which of them we can blame for leaving this mess. Now it's public land, so this mess, or these historical artifacts, belong to all of us and to posterity.
