Uhh corn, corn and more corn. This is why Frank (the German cross country bicyclist) rides the train across the middle of the country. No need to suffer these liminal states. It was like being lost in the middle of somebody's sick joke. It reminded me of the scene in Time Bandits where the group of travelers where captured and placed in a cage suspended in the middle of a boundless chamber. The only thing visible was another cage just within sight and after that another cage and then darkness. There is nothing to do but get to that next cage and keep moving into the unknown.
