I dunno. I don't think it would be lovely. Can you imagine the bugs.
It's just another "oh, isn't it great to have all this freedom in America" theme like Jack Kerouac's _On the Road_, except instead of hitchhiking across the country, they float. You know, part of the American Dream: open space all to yourself, no responsibilities, not a care in the world, roughing it in nature, don't need anyone but yourself and maybe a buddy.

It wasnt so much the living on the raft that was lovely, but the freedom Huck enjoyed - going wherever the river took him and not having to answer to anyone. I imagine that kind of freedom would sound good to any kid. C.

Because dying at the hands of surging water battering your head against the rocks is the alternative.

You can change your view anytime you want and are free to move with the river. No fences to paint.
