I just ordered the complete set of the ACA TransAmerica Trail, and Section 2 (Eugene, OR to Baker City, OR) was backordered. I'm leaving for my trip in three weeks, and don't know if the map will come in time for my start. Would anyone be kind enough to write out route for me? I'm traveling EastBound. If you list the major cities/roads, I'm pretty sure I could fill in the gaps. Thanks

Get a AAA map of Oregon -
Or print off a state highway map from the oregon DOT site.

The route is pretty basic.

Highway 126 East from Eugene just past McKenzie Bridge
Highway 242 East over McKenzie Pass to Sisters
Highway 126 East again to Prineville
US 26 East to Austin
Highway 7 East to Baker City.

There are a couple a back roads just east of Eugene -

But if you stay on 126 you will be fine -
Just a little more traffic.

You can download the gps coordinates free from adventurecycling.org, and view them in google earth. you miss out on the services info, but i'm sure you can figure it out.
