I walked from Reservoir Station down Chestnut Hill Ave, then Heath Hill St. Just before the hash's closest-approach point was a permanent gate across the road, preventing through traffic. (So, not exactly a 1-mile drive. I'm glad I was on foot.)

My rapidly-dying GPS pointed me to the backyard of a large gray house. Since there were no cars in the driveway, I went in as far as I felt was appropriate. I would have needed to go a bit more South, but that was too close to the house.

I retreated to the road and waited for any latecomers. After a few minutes, Spot pulled up in a car with a Linux bumpersticker. That was the first time I'd met someone at a hash! Very exciting.
