Now that I think about it, I'm think I've seen photos of those from a few years ago.

The concrete path leading to Fantasy Land runs just in front of them and behind the rocks is the Thunder Mountain Ranch picnic area. Hopefully Disney will utilize this area with some kind of Frontier Land attraction. Time will tell.
