Thanks for posting this kind of stuff is why I come here. Kenny and friends also approached from stump springs. From his description they did not find the same way as you went and he said they considered hiking out the other side. I did an overnighted to the river from that side years ago and the route i took was better than Kenny’s but worse than Brian’s. I think on the map the road i took led to a Hoffman meadow. if I can find pictures I will try an post them.
