Narrative:
I was making a flight from osh to luk. Luk sets in a valley. Before I could see the field I contacted luk tower. I was told to enter a left downwind for runway 2L. When I came around the hill and luk came into sight, I mistook runway 6 for runway 2L. When I turned to enter a left downwind for runway 6 that put me in the path of an small transport deparing runway 2R. I rolled hard right to get out of the way then rolled left to enter a left downwind for runway 2L.
