Yosemite National Park is something that most certainly should go on any good bucket list. However, when it comes to list, you should never forget the home security checklist – especially if you are going to be away for any extended period of time. It’s a list that’s often neglected and some people who go to sites like www.quortek.com and get security systems think they’ll just flip a switch and there’s nothing to worry about. There is, in fact, more that can be done to maximize the security and we’ll go through a few of those items.

- Don’t let the mail and the newspaper pile up. Nothing says “Hey, we’re not home so make yourselves AT HOME” like these telltale signs of absence. Either contact the mail carrier or, better still, have your neighbors gather up your things. They might even be able to look in on the home.

- Leave no spare keys hidden on the property and no notes on the door. Maybe you have the neighbor kid coming over to water your plants and you wanted to leave them a key and a note. That’s fine, but leave these things in person – not outside for the criminals to find.

Feeling like you just need to get away from it all? There are not many destinations more serene and peaceful than Yosemite National Park. While you are there why not take up some rock climbing? This beautiful countryside has been featured in Star Trek as Captain Kirk ascended El Capitan. If you are not feeling quite so energetic, there are climbing lessons and guided climbs for beginners to experts.

The great thing is that you will not have any worries while out and about. The guides are usually AMGA certified and also trained for wilderness emergency medical services. Rock Continue reading this post…
