Narrative:
Low visibility and poor taxi signage caused confusion at intersection of runways while taxiing to runway 16 at eugene with a clearance to cross runway 21. I thought I was on a different taxiway than I actually was which led to me going around the 'corner' of runway 21 to get to the correct taxiway. My wing may have extended over active runway.
