Saat bertugas untuk McCall's pada September 1969, Milton bergabung dengan Steve McQueen untuk Baja 1000, yang merupakan balapan dune buggy menyusuri semenanjung Baja. Milton mendokumentasikan lebih dari 350 gambar selama mereka bersama. Gambar ini adalah Steve yang melihat sekeliling dengan kaus oblong, topi rajut cokelat, dan bandana merah di lehernya.
