Belt broke.  My kids were in back seat and said they heard a high pitched sound; at frequencies I apparently do not hear...  We pulled off, I listened and was able to hear it a  little.  We had another couple of miles to go, so opted to drive to that spot.  As I pulled out there was a large bang, so stopped immediately and found broken belt.

Replaced all 3 belts and looked at all pulleys.  Seemed fine and got really good help from vanagon owners here on Bowen.  

Great thing, this list!
