The bay has also become an active kayaking area with rentals available at the launch. </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.mapquest.com/mq/4-CG4crNv7d1TP" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.mapquest.com/mq/4-CG4crNv7d1T"><U> Area Map</U></A>     Zoom for street level map</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0f080e00.jpg" border=0 width="640" height="480" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div>      Not much to look at, but here it is:  the Steinfeld Pickle plant.  And there are all those rail tank cars full of liquid sugar.  No wonder those Steinfeld pickles are so good. </div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0f180e00.jpg" border=0 width="640" height="480" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div>     Scappose used to boast of a candle factory but the economy and imports caught up with it.  So here is what is left.  Welcome to Scappose with the largest candle you have ever seen!  Two pretty good antique stores share this site with the candle. </div> <bR> </td> <td valign="top" width=150 BGCOLOR="#0066CC" TEXT="#080000"> <div> .</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
