I don't get it. Land the damn plane. Move to one side or the other,
whatever.

Yep. That's where parallel taxiways come in handy. Looks like SPB
has two of them.

Indeed. Scappoose has no shortage of available concrete - a long, wide runway, two good
sized parallel taxiways, some decent sized ramps, and it sits surrounded by large, flat,
open fields. Sure, there are some trees here and there and an occasional
fence/road/structure nearby - it's not quite the Bonneville Salt Flats - but if you were
going to come down someplace, this is a pretty forgiving location with lots of options
available. Heck, the taxiways there are a lot better than plenty of runways I've landed
on.
