Where does the PCT out of Snow Creek enter the closure?

It's a great trail for up and back (because it's not so steep) but I don't know if it enters the closure zone a mile or two in, or if it goes for 10-12 miles first. It doesn't hit the Fuller Ridge trailhead until 15 or 16 miles in, but I think the closure extends well below that. Anyone know?

Zip:

It appears that the boundary is here http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=33.87314&lon=-116.68069&s=100&size=l&u=4&datum=nad27&layer=DRG which looks pretty close to Snow Creek.

Definitely not the state park boundary. I believe that's the SB National Forest boundary, which, regrettably, is also closed.
